Newbie, recently joined, 7/1/23.
Right now, I’m on three: Lemmy.world (my ‘main’ or ‘home’), kbin, and Blahaj Lemmy. I’m looking at Reddthat and sh.itjust.works as well.
Just curious. I know most of the content will overlap, but there are differences in philosophy/moderator style, etc.
Do you like having ONE instance?
I’m loving Alexandrite as the Dove dark chocolate enrobing my lemmy.world ice cream bar!
Three. lemmy.ml, sh.itjust.works, and lemmynsfw
lemmy.ml because I was a relatively early adopter in the reddit migration. sh.itjust.works because they’re the largest instance I’m aware of that defederates the fewest other instances. If there were a large instance that didn’t defederate anyone, I’d definitely join.
sh.itjust.works is what I consider my “main” account currently, but unfortunately beehaw has the largest gaming community, so I have to keep a lemmy.ml tab open for it too. I use lemmy.ml on the living room computer so there isn’t porn on the tv all day.
Either way, it’s handy to have accounts on at least two different instances for when your main instance is down.
