Question here from a new Lemmy user-

Is there any point to creating accounts across multiple Lemmy servers? For example if I wanted to claim the same username on a small hobby Lemmy but also a large general purpose one, does it make sense for me to create multiple accounts, or is that just a waste of time/resources?

If there's anyone who has any valuable input about multiple accounts, it's this guy.

The day Lemmy has multicommunities I'll drop most of my alts

First thing you'll learn here: out of the 50K monthly active users, this guy makes up 1K of them.

Don't gossip about my alt account please

Doesn't Mbin have them? Kbin did.

[–] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Piefed does, not Mbin. I gave Piefed another try the other day, it's nice but I'm too used to the Lemmy interface at this point.

If one day Piefed has Comments view like Lemmy does, I'll probably switch.

Mbin must have forked too soon. Their instances are wild, feda.io has a defed list as long as my arm and mbin.earth federates with everything.

Interesting about Piefed, thanks.
