Stupid question. How is everyone managing the accounts, emails and content? How do you manage multiple profiles? (As I understand apps and tools are still lacking).
The promise of federation is that you need only one account as long as you're happy with the instance you're on.
Despite this, as best as I can see there's currently no good way to use different softwares from the same account, so I ended up with 3 accounts for Kbin, Mastodon and Pixelfed.
I technically have one on Lemmy too but its login page is broken so I can't use it. But that doesn't seem to matter, I can participate in Lemmy from Kbin just fine.
I have one for lemmy.ml and one for beehaw. I'm noticing the comment count is very different when subscribed via a different instance vs seeing the same post on its original instance, and this is for posts that are 2 days old.
Started with one at lemmy.world, moved to this one at feddit.uk because I wanted to interact with both beehaw and lemmy.world which were defederated from each other. I have one at kbin but I'll probably access everything from here for simplicity. So, 3.
I've got one on kbin and two on Lemmy. Don't know wtf I'm doing but ideally I'll stick with this kbin account since eventually it will be an "all in one" account for kbin, Lemmy and mastodon. Just waiting on a dedicated kbin app.
I would be interested from the users who have multiple accounts, do you use the same name and password everywhere, so do you use the accounts as "one", or is it different for each instance?
If so, why?
For security reasons, if the database of an instance is cracked?
Do you not want your NSFW account's postings to be associated with your other stuff?
So far same name, different passwords. Not really much thought given to any of it, I just wanted to get up and running quickly and I'll possibly change it when things settle down (I'm not really attached to this name). Different passwords is just good standard practice.
Three. Only find myself using two, one'a kind of a backup/clone on a less crowded instance for when my two mains are both overloaded. Once it calms down I'll make one my work/around people account (NSFW content not allowed), my every day account, and the other one my...ummm...you know what, don't worry about the third account.
I have kbin.social account along with this lemmyworld account because several days ago kbin.social didn't federate so I must made new account to check on them.
One here and one on kbin, but I noticed that I spent 80% of the time here. I often want to try out kbin, but the cloudflare-check I have to go through every single time I want to use kbin is annoying and it just feels more empty than Lemmy. So I often can't be bothered to go to kbin anymore and will most likely choose Lemmy as my replacement for Reddit.
