lemmy.world is very slow, it hosts 87,000 user signups, 36-50k active, defederates pawb.social, burggit.moe, exploding-heads.com, lemmit.online, and a bunch of other instances, 63 in total.
startrek.website defederates only 6 or so, sh.itjust.works defederates 3
some instances become too big and slow, some instances are run by idiots who can’t even self-host so their servers die and leave hundreds of people stranded, etc.
in the end, many servers don’t allow you to just have one account because they will block what you want to see, or because they are down a lot of the time, or because sometimes they’re too slow because they’re too big, etc.
Having different accounts for different interests suggest to me that there’s a missing feature in Lemmy. I can see why some people might want that, but Reddit had multisubs for that need. Lemmy doesn’t have that.
Why would I need more than one? A couple comments don’t show up once in a while, but other than that, I can get everything from one account.
I signed up for lemmy.ca after lemmy.world became more or less unusable for me. I can also see creating multiple accounts for different interests.
Porn accounts. Main and porn.
Why did your first account become unusable? What was the problem?
