And how many of those accounts are for NSFW content?
For the sake of anonymity, people without separate accounts can pretend to be sock-puppets of those answering.
Just 2 here but thinking of spinning up a personal instance shortly
Just this one, I don’t see a need to have any alts right now. I might later on for NSFW if I want to subscribe and vote, but there’s basically no NSFW lemmys worth using yet so…
Fetishists are always last to the party huh?
You mean first? Last I checked all there is is furry stuff and lemmynsfw had a cringy obsession with celebrities, like dozens of communities for every celebrity imaginable.
Upon review it appears it’s a bit more on the normal side and pornlemmy seems to be a new, saner thing.
Still not a whole lot of softcore though.
Two. I originally signed up on Beehaw, but I decided to switch after the defederation. Most of the communities I was subscribed to at the time were on World, and I hated losing access to them. Saw my current instance advertised on Mastodon and made the switch. My Beehaw account is still active, but I don’t check it very often since I can still interact with those communities through this account.
One. Signed up on lemmy.ca and don’t see any reason to make another.
Ummm, I’m not sure?
Back on reddit, I had two main, my author account, and a novelty account. Wanted to keep things simple. One main for browsing, another for moderation. The author account for self promotion and such. The novelty account was for the joy of entering a simple little phrase whenever discworld would come up.
Sadly, for some reason, my textpand doesn’t work in lemmy apps, and I haven’t typed out the formatting for it in ages. But it was a version of foul old ron and used one of his gibberish phrases along with the clacks overhead the sir Pterry
But, I had tried lemmy out a bit last year or the year before, and had deleted those accounts. I have the two user names I used most on reddit registered at a couple pf instances, plus a handful of others for redundancy, my author account, and three accounts that are actually my cousin’s, but he isn’t using regularly that I’m subscribing to things I know he likes.
I’ve kinda lost track tbh. I have them all in my bitwarden though, but I only keep one or two logged into any given app, so I don’t have them all in one place without messing with BW
But at least a dozen.
I love Discworld!
By which I mean, what was the phrase?
I thought I smelled something!
3 technically, 2 in use, and just because I didn’t really understand federation at sign up. Now I mainly use my beehaw and my shitjustworks account.
Just this one for posting. I was messing around with the API and couldn’t figure out how to log in, so I created another account at an instance populated by weirdos, and spammed that instead with my many wrong and malformed attempts.
3 - this one is my main one, then one on kbin.social and one on lemmy.world. When I created the other 2 I basically couldn’t log in to them because the servers were too overloaded, but this one let me straight in so this is my main one now.
Three. This one, one as admin of my instance (so I don’t have to log in as admin all the time), and a bot account.
The bot only responds to DMs to add some fun new features. It’s not online yet.
I have zero accounts for NSFW, because I am always at work.
- 1 for normal stuff, and 1 for NSFW.
Two. I’m on the second right now because my main instance is timing out ATM.
I have a handful of redundant accounts because instances keep fucking up or disappearing completely.
Out of curiosity - hoe many have you run into that had disappeared?
R.I.P. Vlemmy. Now I have another Lemmy account.
Huh. Wouldn’t have bet on vlemmy to be the one to just evaporate.
One that disappeared (vlemmy, which seems to have lost its DNS registration).
Just two, one I first signed up with and decided was a mistake, and then the one I currently use. I’ll probably make a third for nsfw eventually but that’s low on the list while I’m still settling in
Just the one. I’d just constantly forget to switch if I had more than one, not worth the hassle.
I have 3 on different instances with all the same subscriptions in case one goes down.
Yeah, I’ve got a similar deal going on with mine
I should have done this. vlemmy.net died and I lost all my subscriptions :(
Same, literally just finished subscribing to 50+ communities the day before it went down :'(
