Until accounts can be migrated or users are disconnected from the instances, this will be a huge limit of Lemmy over other social media. Having to maintain multiple accounts on the same platform simply to view all the content you want will deter users.
Having multiple accounts is a core part of lemmy and is why it's so integrated into the apps and quick to access. People just are used to a single (commercial)entity controlling everything for them that they are having a hard time realizing they need to control it themselves. I agree it would be nice to link accounts in a more seamless way so they are less tied to instances but that is not a huge price to pay imho.
