    I feel kinda dumb… I truly did not get the whole fediverse thing and panicked trying to guess where most of us refugees would go, I made an account on mastadon, kbin.social, karab.in, lemmy.world and maybe a few more I now cannot recall, all same username as my Reddit account… I assume now that was overkill? I hope there is a way I can merge them all together at some point… and Oddly enough, this was my last instance(? That’s what lemmy.world is right?) that feels less confusing than all the previous ones I tried…

    Growing pains but in time I think this whole fediverse thing will grow on me!

      I think creating too many accounts as you try to find a home and figure out what instances are is a normal thing. I certainly did it as well 😂

      You can think of each instance as a separate reddit website. The magic of the fediverse is all these separate full on websites are still the same thing and can interact with each other!

      Having multiple accounts isn’t necessarily redundant. When I joined Mastodon I picked a friendly instance at random, the owner is very strict about what will be visible in their instance’s federated feed so a lot of instances are banned. Personally I’m fine with their choices since I don’t want to see hate speech in my feed, but there could be scenarios where you disagree with your preferred instance’s owner on what you want to see.
