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

        What’s the benefit of a separate login? I guess maybe if you comment on NSFW posts then people don’t see it when they look at a comment you made on a normal post. Anything else?

      I think having Lenny and a kbin account is reasonable. If one goes down you can use the other.

        Fair enough. Personally I’d probably just lurk until my instance was back up, but I could see it being worth having a backup.

    I’m happy with the one instance I’m on. The admin’s a nice guy and we agree well on policies.

    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??

      having an account on a non crowded instance will give you better performance. less lag, less downtime, etc.

      you can pick one that is near you for optimal latency.

      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.

    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.

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

    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.
