Title.

Newbie, recently joined, 7/1/23.

Right now, I’m on three: Lemmy.world (my ‘main’ or ‘home’), kbin, and Blahaj Lemmy. I’m looking at Reddthat and sh.itjust.works as well.

Just curious. I know most of the content will overlap, but there are differences in philosophy/moderator style, etc.

Do you like having ONE instance?

I’m loving Alexandrite as the Dove dark chocolate enrobing my lemmy.world ice cream bar!

        Enabling NSFW is probably most of it, but I also blocked the user Madness (or something like that) who posts most of the celeb spam, and my feed has been 100% better.

        Are you logged in? Most of the NSFW stuffs won’t show up if you’re not logged in and hasn’t enable NSFW in your account

    One. I am a dumb dumb and don’t quite understand the point of being on multiple instances. Also so many of them are weirdly… ideological??

      Mostly just to explore, and overtime it’ll become less important once the game of defederation-chicken cools down. The only other reason I see might be if a particular instance is blocked from Lemmy.world but you want to see the content still.

      I’m happy where I am and don’t really feel the need to use any other ones.

    Just the one (on lemmy.world). Any more would get confusing.

    Might possibly get a porn one, but sooner or later I will end up posting a long, technical post on road safety or something similar as @pantycumslutboi or something similar… which could be interesting and amusing for other participatns in that discussion

    I’m on 5 instances, primarily for redundancy just in case an instance experiences hiccups I could login to another.

    I signed up on Sopuli.xyz and that’s it. I haven’t really had a need to sign up on another instance.

    lemmy.world for my main interests, lemmynsfw for porn and lemmy.ml as a backup for lemmy.world since they often had issues recently. but since lemmy.ml os so restrictive in terms of nsfw i usually don’t really use it.

    In terms of Lemmy, I’m just on Lemmy.world, I have no real reason to sign up for something else. I’m also on Mastodon, though.

    1. Lemmy.one, for a broad normie experience. Kbin, idk I was trying it out but like lemmy better. Lemmygrad and hexbear.net because they’re not widely federated.

    Only 2 that I’m active on. Lemmy and Firefish. Both are hosted on tchncs.de

    I had another Lemmy account but the server suddenly disappeared. And I moved from mastodon on mas.to to firefish. I may move back. I like the functionality of Antennas but I also miss a single feed for people and hashtags.

    I have accounts on several instances, but only use one of them.

    Just like opening an account on an email provider to gauge the quality of the service+features, I went instance hopping until I found one that felt right.

    Right now, all other accounts are sleeper accounts. I have them kind of sorted out so that if my current instance goes down or is knocked out of the air, I’ll just log in to the next sleeper account.
