First time posting, but i was wondering if i was the only one who had more than 2 accounts in total on here
I’ve got three. I started with a beehaw account but now have one at sh.itjust.works after beehaw defederated and a third at lemmynsfw for…reasons.
You have reasons too‽ We should be best friends!
I would be interested from the users who have multiple accounts, do you use the same name and password everywhere, so do you use the accounts as “one”, or is it different for each instance?
If so, why?
For security reasons, if the database of an instance is cracked?
Do you not want your NSFW account’s postings to be associated with your other stuff?I use a password manager (Keepass) so every service has a different password usually 24 characters with upper-lower case, numbers, and special.
For critical services like paypal and email, I also use different usernames.
So far same name, different passwords. Not really much thought given to any of it, I just wanted to get up and running quickly and I’ll possibly change it when things settle down (I’m not really attached to this name). Different passwords is just good standard practice.
I’ve got one on kbin and two on Lemmy. Don’t know wtf I’m doing but ideally I’ll stick with this kbin account since eventually it will be an “all in one” account for kbin, Lemmy and mastodon. Just waiting on a dedicated kbin app.
Started with one at lemmy.world, moved to this one at feddit.uk because I wanted to interact with both beehaw and lemmy.world which were defederated from each other. I have one at kbin but I’ll probably access everything from here for simplicity. So, 3.
I just have my lemmy.world account.
Just one right now. I’ll probably spin up my own instance at some point though.
two. this one, and I made an account on fedia.io back when kbin was having issues federating. but I only use this one now.
Just this one account and I don’t plan on having others. I don’t see the point.
I have one Lemmy account for now. Following the KISS protocol (keep it simple).
Two for me, one lemmy and one kbin
Only kbin and I don’t feel the need to create another one.
Two, but only because I can’t log into the other fediverse instance that I’ve registered (sh.itjust.works).

Four right now. I have a kbin that I’m keeping contained to kbin for the time being. I have one on Beehaw that was going to be my main on Lemmy, but I made another on .world to interact everywhere since Beehaw defederated for now. And one for NSFW-only.
Two, one on beehaw which was my first one, and one on kbin cause it’s cool.
Edit: if you are thinking of joining kbin give fediverse.boo and readit.buzz a try. Two stable kbin instancesI know for mastodon, you can move your account over to other mastodon instances while keeping all your data and such.
Is there currently a way to do that with kbin? In case I wanted to branch out to a more niche instance but keep my profile and messages and subscribed magazines and such?
A handful of them. The fragmentation of lemmy is yet to be improved. It is common for me trying to subscribe to remote community that the remote community is not found or the instance is in “Blocked Instances”.
This is bad for general users since they will not be patient or bother to open multiple accounts across multiple instances.
