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.

This is the way.
Though, my Lemmy illiteracy has lead me to make an account per instance. So I have one here, .world and nsfw. Is it possible to go on different instances with the same account?
Yes. You can use the search function for that, just search for “community@instance”, so for example “worldnews@lemmy.world”.
Linking to communities from other instances works similarly, using a “!”: !worldnews@lemmy.world
You can also append this type of address to your instance url like so:
https://lemmy.ml/c/worldnews@lemmy.world
As long as another instance is not explicitly defederated (blocked) from yours, you can visit any community from any instance this way.
I have 3 on different instances with all the same subscriptions in case one goes down.
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 :'(
Yeah, I’ve got a similar deal going on with mine
One on lemmy.world (June 15th), this account I’ve made on lemmy.fmhy.ml (July 3rd), and one on lemmynsfw (also July 3rd). My lemmy.fmhy.ml account is my main now, I only login on lemmy.world if I want a more up-to-date feed and content, though the lemmyverse has already gotten bigger and has more content nowadays so that’s no longer necessary.
You can follow any lemmy from any lemmy as long as they’re federated FYI
I know, but iirc it takes time for posts to be shared across instances?
Yeah, I think you’re right.
It’s not really supposed to, and a lot of the time it is working as intended and things are basically instant. But yeah when it starts to run behind things can get frustrating.
Coincidentally, I just now opened a second account after opening the first a week ago. I decided I wanted a different @username. I don’t know why I used my Reddit username the first time. I’ll delete that one soon — I only made two post comments with it.
I do have a Mastodon, too.
You mean Fediverse accounts? I have one for Lemmy and one for Mastodon. Boring? Yeah, I know.
One on lemmy.world and one on kbin.social, because I wanted to try out both. I only use Lemmy, but I’ll keep kbin as a backup in case there’s any shenanigans with Lemmy in the future. And I still have my old Reddit account cause I can’t bring myself to delete it, but that profile just points people to my Lemmy account.
I have one Lemmy and one kbin as well. Seeing what develops.
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).
1 main account, 1 alt account. This is a use case where I fully appreciate the separation caused by federation; my alt account is on a separate instance and therefore is completely, wholly separate from my main.
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.
You could create a linktree with the list of servers you’re on
I have four due to instance shopping, but there’s only one I use all the time and one I use as an alternate. Would be nice to be able to synchronize them.
NSFW I don’t care about, it’s enabled. I only browse stuff by subscription where that stuff rarely comes up. Can’t imagine the garbage I’d have to sift through setting my front page to “All”.
Just 2 here but thinking of spinning up a personal instance shortly
At the moment, I have… seven, I think. I mostly use two - one at kbin and one at lemmy.ninja. I have one at lemmy.world that I check in on occasionally, but there’s generally too much junk to wade through there. And I have one at lemmy.nsfw for… you know… stuff. The rest are languishing.
I just open them through my browser. I have a tentative plan to switch to an app, but I’m waiting for them to get a bit more settled first, and really the browser works fine.
I find each instance to be a different experience, so I just switch between them as I see fit. And I’m still looking for at least one more - something deliberately scholarly and sedate.
mander.xyz might be up your street
- 1 for normal stuff, and 1 for NSFW.
On Reddit I had my regular one and an alt for commenting things that I wouldn’t want tied back to me IRL. So far here is just this one. If I ever post much more identifying info on this one, I might make an alt.
