    One in Lemmy.world. Made it when lemmy.ml was suffering from outages, and returned to lemmy.ml when lemmy.world got pissy about piracy. By then, lemmy.ml was good to go.

    That lemmy.world account just collects dust nowadays.

      That lemmy.world account just collects dust nowadays.

      The piracy thingy gave the same ending to mine in favor of lemm.ee, the good thing about the Fediverse is that if any other aggregator site, like Reddit did the crappy/un announced move like that we would get rekt… Meanwhile thanks to the Fediverse we could react and stay here without losing it all… That seems like the fucking future if you ask me.

    Just 2, one admin account and one “undercover” account. If lemmy could add support for hiding admin/mod tags when we aren’t making “official” announcements that would be great. Unfortunately the devs seem to dislike the feature, so alt account it is.

      I don’t mind the admin tag. Only users on my own instance can see it and I like being accessible to them. I think I’ve brought out the “mod” voice about twice, ever.

      Edit: oh to answer OP’s question, I have a couple of alts - all the same username and used to test different apps or federation. I don’t know if there are any instances blocking aussie.zone, but I’d use them to check if a user makes a query. I only comment/post with this account.

    I made three different accounts but I really didn’t know what instance to use at first. Now I have landed at the only one I use.

        Not a whole lot. One I used had no down votes and another kept going down. So I just stuck with lemm.ee but alot of the communities I use are on other instances. That is what I didn’t get at first, that you could subscribe to any community on different instances unless they got defederated from your instance.

    I have 3, the original one I signed up with after the Reddexodus at the community I identified most with at the start, one with the same name on a community I prefer more now, but keep the old one as a backup. And a final one for porn.

    67. vote manipulation

    Just 1 so far. In the future I might make an alt on another instance as a backup or something, but so far it doesn’t seem necessary. My current instance has a ridiculous amount of donations and a good sysadmin so I’m not worried about it disappearing at the moment.

    My alts are always on my same name. It helps me not have to remember, but it helps me to compartmentalize.

    I have one over on lemmy.world that I made when RiF went down and it pointed to that instance. ‘Reddit is Fun’ was my trusted app of choice for so long that I figured that I’d go with their recommendation.

    That mindset was apparently shared with a lot of people, and lemmy.world became overcrowded and unusable every other day for a while due to traffic. That’s when I read that one should get registered at a closer and/or smaller instance in order to have better service.

    That’s when I moved over to SDF’s shockingly fast lemmy instance.

      For what it’s worth, lemmy.world has been exceptionally stable for a while now.

      I probably just jinxed it, though.

    I’ve got four accounts, and I use them all for basically the same thing, although I try to post more to native instances with each account

      What’s the benefit of that? I thought the point of the Federated nature of it all was so it all links together no matter what your local instance is.

        The benefit is I don’t have all my content in one instance. Also there are a few communities I like that might not be federated with a specific instance, but are on another. There’s been some talk about beehaw leaving the fediverse, and if it does I’ll follow, but I’ll probably check this account from time to time.

        To me, the benefit of the fediverse is no advertising and no monetization or artificial promoting of posts.
