Personally I have three accounts. This is my main, but I have a reserve for stuff and one for my local region/language. What about you?

Just the one account. But I don't really use it socially so the Internet strangers can look at all they want.

[–] user224@lemmy.sdf.org 14 points 5 months ago (1 children)

One when our instance is down.

[–] testaccount789@sh.itjust.works 3 points 5 months ago (4 children)

But yeah, this is it.

I've got one on World and one on DBZer0 for piracy stuff.

[–] nondescripthandle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Used to have one on world but theres nothing on world I cant see from db0, and the reverse isn't true.

Two, a main that I use 99% of the time and then another that's in a walled garden type instance that I occasionally want to post in.

[–] muse@fedia.io 7 points 5 months ago

One, because kbin is always down

[–] Noodle07@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago

None, I just doom scroll with that account

[–] thorbot@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago

None, why would I?

[–] 0x30507DE@lemmy.today 6 points 5 months ago

This one on lemmy.today, and my original account with the same username on lemmy.world.

[–] Lexam@lemmy.ca 6 points 5 months ago

Just this one. It's enough.

[–] bestusername@aussie.zone 6 points 5 months ago

I'm too lazy for more than this one.

[–] viking@infosec.pub 6 points 5 months ago

Three including this one, but the other two were just created on other instances before I settled for one I actually liked. So they are more like dormant accounts I log into every other month or so, I don't actively use them.

[–] schwim@lemm.ee 5 points 5 months ago

No alts, just some orphaned accounts from moving to new instances.

[–] aStonedSanta@lemm.ee 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)
  1. This and I had one on lemmynsfw but don’t recall the username 😆

[–] fushuan@lemm.ee 5 points 5 months ago

I did create one in the nsfw instance and it has the same username as this one, but it's not been used since it was created mostly, so just one.

[–] RickAstleyfounddead@lemy.lol 5 points 5 months ago

Here and dbzer0 lol

[–] gandalf_der_12te@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

three, on three different instances. It's called redundancy.

[–] linearchaos@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago

0, but at some point I'll roll another and swap. Even Lemmy doesn't need to know that much about me :)

[–] HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club 4 points 5 months ago

Just one. This is my local language and I've got better sources for stuff.

[–] spittingimage@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

Ha, you think one account can contain all this awesome?! 😃

It can. I don't have any alts.

[–] Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 5 months ago

When I first came over I made a Kbin account, which should still exist. Otherwise none.

[–] notnotmike@programming.dev 4 points 5 months ago

I have a four, but most are from instances I've moved away from.

Started on Beehaw but when they started defederating from everyone I made a programming.dev account.

Also created a personal instance, but it was too heavy for my NAS to be worth it.

Finally, an Mbin account recently because the communism stuff from the main developers seems to be pretty contentious right now and I want to explore alternatives while I'm still happy with Lemmy. If some "event" happens and I find the need to move somewhere else its good to have an alternative in the pocket

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 4 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

I started with just one on Lemmy.World, but then like a month after the Appocalypse when the server was being hammered and someone pointed out it could be lessened by simply using other instances, I made two more. This one on Yiffit.net which became my main, and one on "shit just works," just in case.

I sometimes get on the Lemmy.World one for mod reasons, but I haven't actually ever used the shit just works one.

[–] sasquash@sopuli.xyz 4 points 5 months ago

I was originally on feddit.de. But due to continuous technical problems with the instance I had to create this one. So 2.

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

Started out with lemmy.one, then when they had major downtime, I started on kbin, but when I couldn't use that with my preffered lemmy app, I spun up lemmy.world which is now my main.

[–] crony@lemmy.cronyakatsuki.xyz 3 points 5 months ago

Just this one, that I also host myself

[–] Nemo@midwest.social 3 points 5 months ago

Two. My original account on slrpnk.net and this one I opened on midwest.social when I realized the community I wanted to start was off-topic for the other instance. I use both interchangeably, but this is my main.

[–] cyborganism@lemmy.ca 3 points 5 months ago

I created my original account on sh.itjust.works. Then I found out about lemmy.ca so I created a new on there. I try to keep them both synchronized in terms of subscriptions.

[–] savvywolf@pawb.social 3 points 5 months ago

Used to have two, one in beehaw and one on sh.itjust.works, but then drama happened and I decided to embrace the owo. So nowadays I just have this account and a secret other account for posting cringe.

[–] Chozo@fedia.io 3 points 5 months ago

Just one. Technically, it's this one. My "main" account is my kbin.social account, but it's so frequently having performance issues that I've been using this account almost exclusively for a while now.

5 with 2 for moderation on different instances.

[–] HEXN3T@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 5 months ago

This is my main, the other is for :3

[–] maniel@sopuli.xyz 3 points 5 months ago

Was originally on lemmy.ml but made one on beehaw because it was overloaded, after a tankie ban on lemmy.ml moved to sopuli.xyz, I also have an account on lemmynsfw for... stuff...

[–] Nomecks@lemmy.ca 3 points 5 months ago

Two, because lemmy.world broke my mfa somehow.

[–] crawancon@lemm.ee 3 points 5 months ago

an accidental one I created and lost access to on another instance and this one. no alts. all authentic baby

[–] ThePyroPython@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

Exactly the same.

[–] Today@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

2 but rarely use the other. It was mostly for when .world was down.

[–] merari42@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I had an account on feddit.de before it broke down but switched for good and wasn't active there for months

[–] xfts@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

One, technically. I never really use it, though.

[–] waterbogan@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

I can barely manage just the one. I dont know how people can juggle multiple accounts. I would get so confused

[–] GamingChairModel@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

I made an alt on each of the big instances, because I wasn't sure which one I wanted to use long term. Then I just kinda stuck with them, each following slightly different topics, and therefore having different opportunities to participate in discussions.

[–] atocci@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

I have 2 accounts. This account is my alt for when Kbin goes down. Been using it a lot lately, but Kbin is slowly starting to come back up now.

1 rn at lemm.ee for estonian

[–] Chainweasel@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

I had one about a year ago on Lemmy.ml when Lemmy.world had more downtime than uptime, but I haven't used it since.

[–] shinigamiookamiryuu@lemm.ee 2 points 5 months ago

Just @KaneLivesInDeath@lemmy.world as encouraged by instance admins because they said moderation of !casualconversation@lemmy.world would require multiple names to catch all the mod reports, but then the community moved locations to its present location to accommodate to certain people from the Southern hemisphere who would otherwise no longer be able to use it via whatever they have going on here instance-wise, so here I am stuck with an alt named after some guy from Command and Conquer.
