That lemmy.world account just collects dust nowadays.
The piracy thingy gave the same ending to mine in favor of lemm.ee, the good thing about the Fediverse is that if any other aggregator site, like Reddit did the crappy/un announced move like that we would get rekt… Meanwhile thanks to the Fediverse we could react and stay here without losing it all… That seems like the fucking future if you ask me.
I have one account I use for everything, I’m too lazy to have alts
That doesn’t sound like a lot of pancakes
Every single user of the lemmyverse is one of my alts :)
Even this acconut
Stop keeping us down!

Just 2, one admin account and one “undercover” account. If lemmy could add support for hiding admin/mod tags when we aren’t making “official” announcements that would be great. Unfortunately the devs seem to dislike the feature, so alt account it is.
I don’t mind the admin tag. Only users on my own instance can see it and I like being accessible to them. I think I’ve brought out the “mod” voice about twice, ever.
Edit: oh to answer OP’s question, I have a couple of alts - all the same username and used to test different apps or federation. I don’t know if there are any instances blocking aussie.zone, but I’d use them to check if a user makes a query. I only comment/post with this account.
I made three different accounts but I really didn’t know what instance to use at first. Now I have landed at the only one I use.
What are the differences between instances, functionality wise?
Not a whole lot. One I used had no down votes and another kept going down. So I just stuck with lemm.ee but alot of the communities I use are on other instances. That is what I didn’t get at first, that you could subscribe to any community on different instances unless they got defederated from your instance.
this is my only account
I created an account for posting manly-hairy nsfw pics, and I’m not posting anything :)
It’s never too late to get started 😏
I have 3, the original one I signed up with after the Reddexodus at the community I identified most with at the start, one with the same name on a community I prefer more now, but keep the old one as a backup. And a final one for porn.
i have a porn account but the porn on this app sucks
…which could be a good thing but I don’t think that’s what you mean.
This is the main account, then I have an alt for NSFW.
One of the things I miss about Reddit is being able to create accounts without manual approval, and/or without having to supply an email address.
I only have one alt in the Lemmyverse and the only reason I have it is because I’m a burrow mod and an admin informed me that reports made by Lemmy World members don’t show up for Lemm Ee mods, so she (the admin) asked if I could make a Lemmy World alt to help me check reports made by members. The alt is @KaneLivesInDeath@lemmy.world
Reports being shared across instances sounds like it would be an useful feature. Hope it gets added in the future.
67. vote manipulationJust 1 so far. In the future I might make an alt on another instance as a backup or something, but so far it doesn’t seem necessary. My current instance has a ridiculous amount of donations and a good sysadmin so I’m not worried about it disappearing at the moment.
None or about a dozen, depending on how you want to look at it.
I have about a dozen accounts on various instances, and four or five that I use regularly, but they’re not really “alts” since they’re all the same name - Rottcodd. Unless someone checked the @s and compared them, they likely wouldn’t even realize they’re not all the same account.
I started out doing it that way because when I first moved here, I just signed up for whatever instances looked appealing for whatever reason, just to try them out, and figured I’d settle on one later. I kept doing it that way because I discovered some advantages.
Each instance actually feels a bit different, since they have different moderation policies, different sets of federated vs. defederated instances, and different sets of communities that members have subscribed to, so different Alls. And I’ve emphasized that by having different subscribed and blocked lists on different instances.
So if I want to wade through chaos and maybe do some shitposting, I have an account for that. If I want to read or post about gaming or technology or popular media, I have an account for that. If I want to read or post about the arts, literature, society, philosophy and the like, I have an account for that. And if I just want to see comfy, pleasant stuff like cat pictures and recipes, I have an account for that.
