Criteria for account creation and identity on the Fediverse (lemmy.ml)

Hello to everybody. I am quite conflicted concerning the way I should manage my presence on the #Fediverse, which instances to join, and how many accounts to use.

In particular, I would like to understand whether the way to go is to have one unique account for everything on a general instance, or rather to create multiple accounts in topic-specific instances and use each one to post about that topic only. For example, should I use @tommi@mastodon.uno only for posts in Italian, @tommi@scholar.social for academic stuff only, @tommi@bookwyrm.social for book-related content?

I fear that having too many account could fragment my follower-base and I would lose my (already quite-little) presence. On the other hand, having separate multiple account makes sense for order and organizational purposes.

What is your take on this?

Thanks a lot!
Tommi

Depending on the platform, there may be ways to do both. I have never tried it myself, but for example you may want to look into Friendica's parent account feature
