First time posting, but i was wondering if i was the only one who had more than 2 accounts in total on here
I have one Lemmy account for now. Following the KISS protocol (keep it simple).
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?
Two for me, one lemmy and one kbin
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.
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!

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.
Two, one on beehaw which was my first one, and one on kbin cause it’s cool.
Edit: if you are thinking of joining kbin give fediverse.boo and readit.buzz a try. Two stable kbin instancesI know for mastodon, you can move your account over to other mastodon instances while keeping all your data and such.
Is there currently a way to do that with kbin? In case I wanted to branch out to a more niche instance but keep my profile and messages and subscribed magazines and such?
I have this one, and one on lemmy.world, which I’m giving up as I prefer the interface of kbin. And, well, the defederation issue.
Four so far. Eventually I’ll pick one but right now I’m not sure which instance will be my home.
One on Lemmy, one on kbin, so far. Trying out both, seeing how I feel about them. So far I’m more of a Mastodon user. But reddit wasn’t my hangout, either.
Just this one account and I don’t plan on having others. I don’t see the point.
Made one on Beehaw, and then because I could not figure out how to use that to login to Kbin, I just made a 2nd one for Kbin. It doesn’t really bother me too much, since it’s almost like ye old days of different accounts on different forums.
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
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.
