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!
Two on Lemmy. One on lemmy.world because it seemed both popular and stable enough, and a second one that I’m planning to use now that Beehaw blocked lemmy.world.
Feeling really bummed out that posts on communities from Beehaw are now different depending on what instance you use to view them now.
Oh I missed that Beehaw blocked lemmy.world, any link or TL;DR for why?
They don’t like the open registration process and they feel there was too many bad actors on that server, so they defederated from them.
Thanks, that’s good to know! I’ll have to go poking around beehaw to find a post.
Beehaw is having trouble moderating some bad actors and harassment coming from some instances with open signups. They’ve decided to defederate for now until things settle down and better mod tools get released.
Hey thanks! Shame that there’s harassment going on, but at least federation makes it easier for them to control for that if they so wish!
I think I’m up to 12 now across both platforms.
May i ask why? Personally the only reason i have 5 is because most of the ones i signed up for initially became heavily overloaded
- I want to protect my username.
- The overall landscape is very ephemeral and disjoint right now.
- Outages and system instability across the network.
- Lack of clear direction or long-term plans by admins.
Makes sense, but I am curious would you delete most of those if things stabilized or would you just keep them there just incase?
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.
I have one Lemmy account for now. Following the KISS protocol (keep it simple).
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.
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.
same username but different passwords
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.
Two for me, one lemmy and one kbin
Two, but only because I can’t log into the other fediverse instance that I’ve registered (sh.itjust.works).
Why not?
Was it because of the registration bug? I read some people were having issues completing registration but in some instances the confirmation email was sent to their inbox so if that’s the case, make sure to check for it
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.
Just this one account and I don’t plan on having others. I don’t see the point.
just one, lemmy.world
How do you feel that Lemmy.world was defederated from beehaw?
concerned that beehaw will become an insular echo chamber.
Like I’m dealing with power-tripping mods on Reddit again. Like I’m going to drop social media once and for all. I’m at a point in life where I’m simplifying. If I need to now track multiple identities/accounts just to post on one platform, I’m done. I have better things to do with <20% of my life I hopefully have left.

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.
