    Because instances defederate with each other. For instance Lemmy.world and beehaw.org defederated with each other. There is also the chance that the instance you are on might go under or close which means you would lose your account. So it’s not a bad idea to have multiple accounts on different instances.

    Also, when one instance is overwhelmed or down for maintenance you can browse another.
