This is the way
Two: First on world, but it was pretty laggy so I changed to lemm.ee. The entire experience is better.
Exactly the same!
I still admire and am super thankful to @ruud for all the time, effort and money he and his friends are pouring into trying to optimize world.
Exactly the same here!
Pretty much same here. I couldn't actually sign into the first one because I hadn't put in my email. Now I'm on lemm.ee!
Same. Did it partly for my own experience, but also to move way and give new users and a chance to join us. :)
3! One for porn, one that was my main but then the instance got overrun by lunatics and got subsequently defederated by all the main instances, and this one
Two because I instantly got banned from the first one
Why? what did you do?
I said that the lemmy.ml admins were marxist-leninists, I'm still unsure what was controversial about it
Two. One for lemmy.world but then due to the issues, moved to lemm.ee which is my current main.
5 - one Beehaw, but after taking me 2 weeks to be accepted, I moved on to lemmy.world and now switched to lemm.ee since lemmy.world is having some problems with the huge influx of new users. Also have another one on lemmynsfw.com for...Well... Reasons. I also have one on Kbin, altough I don't really use it since 99% of my Lemmy/Kbin browsing in on Android and I don't know of any KBin apps as of now, besides, I think I'll just settle down on lemm.ee for now.
Just one, I'm glad I'm able to interact with all instances from this account, I think if I felt I had to make so many accounts I'd get overwhelmed and quit lemmy
Three total, but was using lemmy.world as my main until recently with all the groaning under the pressure of all the new signups so yesterday I spent about an hour or so methodically recreating my subscribe feed on lemm.ee
Nothing at all against the admins over at .world but when itβs pushing the absolute limits of capacity with all the new people coming by, it makes for a different experience all together on a smaller instance. Course because itβs hiccuping over there Iβm seeing some significant delays in federation but whaddyagonnado.
I opened an account in lemmy.world first, simply because I didn't know better. Then I realized that it'll be a good idea to stay on a smaller instance. Been with lemmy.sdf.org since and I'm pretty happy with it.
Two. I started on lemmy.ml, but then I spun up my own instance for me and a couple friends who mentioned wanting to check out lemmy.
- Started on lemmy.ml when I didnβt know anything about lemmy. Switched to lemmy.world after getting annoyed with the tankie shit. Then switched to Midwest.social because lemmy.world was way over inundated and barely functioning.
3 so far.. but it's mainly trial and error.
Started off with Lemmy.ml then wanted a bigger instance.
Moved to Lemmy.world then ended up having too many users and lagging.
So I moved to a good compromise: Lemmy.blahaj.zone
But yeah. Three so far with the exact same username π¬
I'm on Lemmy.blahaj.zone because my lgbt wife loves blahaj and I figure it will make her more comfortable when she eventually moves to Lemmy. Don't feel the need for another instance.
Only one, I was tempted to sign up to another but I only just about got a nice mix of subscribed communities on this one and don't have the patience to go through it again. I don't really see the point, either, unless you are signing up to a second one that isn't federated with your current one.
Also, shout out to ReddThat.com, absolutely zero glitches or issues so far except for those that seem to be fediverse wide. Good place to be with good people.
How many instances i have accounts on? Only 1, this one haha
Juat one, VLemmy.
I signed up about two weeks ago I think? And I picked one that seemed large enough and permissive enough to be stable but not the biggest because I knew that one was going to get flooded with new users and suffer once the rest of reddit decided to jump ship.
So far, seems to have been the right choice.
Just the one (lemmy.world), but also have a kbin account just out of curiosity. Been using Lemmy much more though π
All of them! hahaha, I will own the fediverse now!
One
Only one - on lemm.ee. Have been working great so far :)
One, lemmy.ml but want to change to a smaller one, any recommendation?
Just one. Tried kbin but didn't like it.
I made 3 accounts but I just deleted 2 because imho it didn't made sense. I kept the one on the smallest instance for it's reactivity and because it's easier to keep track of things I want to save/follow
6 or 7..I kinda lost track.
Most were to evaluate the best instance.
One or two were just to force manual federation sync of a community I moderate.
I setup my own instance. Performance is much better than the big instances, but looks like propagation of all the federated content is a bit slow.
Hopefully update to Lemmy improve the syncing.
Two. One on lemmy.ml originally, and then I made a second on feddit.de because I live in Germany so I thought a German instance would be nice, and they don't show NSFW posts which makes browsing in the office a little less awkward.
Just 2: Lemmy.ml and lemmy.world.
Still trying to get my bearings before I decided when/if I want to host
I have accounts on 3 different instances.
More than 10. I'm still waiting the confirmations from some of the instances.
I read some weeks ago that lemmy instances are like email providers. So I've taken to hear the advice that I should try different instances before settle into one. It has also been part of my lemmy leaning process. I won't recommend it, though.
Well, I just joined today, so only one. But since you can subscribe and post to communities on any other instance, Iβm not sure why I would need to sign up on another unless I wanted to change. Thatβs what makes the fediverse amazing.
I only recently joined after hearing about lemmy. So far, I've been happy with sopuli.xyz alone.
Two, and a Kbin. The first instance was just for bots (friendly ones I made), then I signed up for this account to use as an alt as Kbin is a bit flaky. Kbin is my main account but I'm using this one quite a bit due to frequent 500 errors over there.
Looks like...[checks sidebar] three: .world, .ee, .film. Oh, and kbin. So far .ee seems the peppiest. Wish I didn't have to recreate my subscriptions each time! π
Two so far. Started on slrpnk.net because I liked their community list and general theme and focus. Added midwest.social because I was thinking of hosting a community and I didn't feel like it fit Solarpunk's tight focus, and I didn't want to detract from that. Midwest is now my main, but I actively use both.
3, Lemmy.world beehaw.org sh.itjust.works and my own selfhosted π
I have one on lemmy.ca and one on kbin.social. The latter was mostly because federation was broken at the time I signed on with the reddit migration.
I'd say I spend more time on lemmy now? Yes, kbin's interface looks more modern and slick but seems less functional? I particularly like that you can collapse threads on lemmy. And I guess a bunch of apps are headed to lemmy first so there's that.
Usually, I like to post/reply using the kbin account if it's to a kbin magazine, but something weird happened the other day. I actually saw a new post on kbin.social from my lemmy account before it showed up on kbin. I'm not sure how that's even possible?
Why would I need more than one? A couple comments don't show up once in a while, but other than that, I can get everything from one account.
I signed up for lemmy.ca after lemmy.world became more or less unusable for me. I can also see creating multiple accounts for different interests.
I'm pretty sure I registered on Beehaw a few months back, but can't seem to login there with my usual credentials. Maybe I just visited the site without registering. I'm happy with just lemmy.world for now though.
Same thing happened to me, the log in icon just kept spinning.
