And how many of those accounts are for NSFW content?

For the sake of anonymity, people without separate accounts can pretend to be sock-puppets of those answering.

      This is the way.

      Though, my Lemmy illiteracy has lead me to make an account per instance. So I have one here, .world and nsfw. Is it possible to go on different instances with the same account?

        Yes. You can use the search function for that, just search for “community@instance”, so for example “worldnews@lemmy.world”.

        Linking to communities from other instances works similarly, using a “!”: !worldnews@lemmy.world

        You can also append this type of address to your instance url like so:

        https://lemmy.ml/c/worldnews@lemmy.world

        As long as another instance is not explicitly defederated (blocked) from yours, you can visit any community from any instance this way.

    One on lemmy.world (June 15th), this account I’ve made on lemmy.fmhy.ml (July 3rd), and one on lemmynsfw (also July 3rd). My lemmy.fmhy.ml account is my main now, I only login on lemmy.world if I want a more up-to-date feed and content, though the lemmyverse has already gotten bigger and has more content nowadays so that’s no longer necessary.

    One on lemmy.world and one on kbin.social, because I wanted to try out both. I only use Lemmy, but I’ll keep kbin as a backup in case there’s any shenanigans with Lemmy in the future. And I still have my old Reddit account cause I can’t bring myself to delete it, but that profile just points people to my Lemmy account.

    1 main account, 1 alt account. This is a use case where I fully appreciate the separation caused by federation; my alt account is on a separate instance and therefore is completely, wholly separate from my main.

    Just this one, I don’t see a need to have any alts right now. I might later on for NSFW if I want to subscribe and vote, but there’s basically no NSFW lemmys worth using yet so…

        You mean first? Last I checked all there is is furry stuff and lemmynsfw had a cringy obsession with celebrities, like dozens of communities for every celebrity imaginable.

        Upon review it appears it’s a bit more on the normal side and pornlemmy seems to be a new, saner thing.

        Still not a whole lot of softcore though.

    I have four due to instance shopping, but there’s only one I use all the time and one I use as an alternate. Would be nice to be able to synchronize them.

    NSFW I don’t care about, it’s enabled. I only browse stuff by subscription where that stuff rarely comes up. Can’t imagine the garbage I’d have to sift through setting my front page to “All”.

    I have a handful of redundant accounts because instances keep fucking up or disappearing completely.

    Ummm, I’m not sure?

    Back on reddit, I had two main, my author account, and a novelty account. Wanted to keep things simple. One main for browsing, another for moderation. The author account for self promotion and such. The novelty account was for the joy of entering a simple little phrase whenever discworld would come up.

    Sadly, for some reason, my textpand doesn’t work in lemmy apps, and I haven’t typed out the formatting for it in ages. But it was a version of foul old ron and used one of his gibberish phrases along with the clacks overhead the sir Pterry

    But, I had tried lemmy out a bit last year or the year before, and had deleted those accounts. I have the two user names I used most on reddit registered at a couple pf instances, plus a handful of others for redundancy, my author account, and three accounts that are actually my cousin’s, but he isn’t using regularly that I’m subscribing to things I know he likes.

    I’ve kinda lost track tbh. I have them all in my bitwarden though, but I only keep one or two logged into any given app, so I don’t have them all in one place without messing with BW

    But at least a dozen.

    I’ve got 2, largely out of curiosity for what defederation meant as far as user perspective.

    When exporting comes online I’ll likely make an effort to spin up an instance if it’s still feasible… So there will be a 3rd cake?On the positive side I don’t think you’re going to find many people wanting to sock puppet mild takes and noise rock.

    Just the one. I’d just constantly forget to switch if I had more than one, not worth the hassle.

    At the moment, I have… seven, I think. I mostly use two - one at kbin and one at lemmy.ninja. I have one at lemmy.world that I check in on occasionally, but there’s generally too much junk to wade through there. And I have one at lemmy.nsfw for… you know… stuff. The rest are languishing.

    I just open them through my browser. I have a tentative plan to switch to an app, but I’m waiting for them to get a bit more settled first, and really the browser works fine.

    I find each instance to be a different experience, so I just switch between them as I see fit. And I’m still looking for at least one more - something deliberately scholarly and sedate.
