Two, I'm liking this instance more than lemmy.world

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

3, Lemmy.world beehaw.org sh.itjust.works and my own selfhosted ๐Ÿ˜„

Two, and a Kbin. The first instance was just for bots (friendly ones I made), then I signed up for this account to use as an alt as Kbin is a bit flaky. Kbin is my main account but I'm using this one quite a bit due to frequent 500 errors over there.

Why would I need more than one? A couple comments don't show up once in a while, but other than that, I can get everything from one account.

Two. One on lemmy.ml originally, and then I made a second on feddit.de because I live in Germany so I thought a German instance would be nice, and they don't show NSFW posts which makes browsing in the office a little less awkward.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Only one, don't feel like having multiple accounts of something that I have to remember to use.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

All of them

2 as of today. My main is on BeeHaw, but I realized that some of the communities I wanted to follow were on defederated instances, so I signed up for programming.dev. I think I'm going to use it for the tech-related communities (plus anything defederated) and BeeHaw for the rest

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

what does it mean if a community is defederated? does that mean that community can only be accessed by the instance it is hosted on?

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

A specific instance (like BeeHaw) can defederate other instances. It's basically like blocking that instance so users on BeeHaw can't interact with that instance.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

So for example if BeeHaw defederated Lenny.World, BeeHaw users won't be able to see communities from Lemmy.World?

What about if Lemmy.World users comment on Lemmy.ml posts, can BeeHaw users see Lemmy.World user's comments?

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Similar but I started in Lemmy.ml. Then found programming.dev.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I'm on two right now. It seems like there are issues with comments loading from other instances. For example I commented on a post hosted on instance A from my instance B, but I couldn't see the replies to my comment without going to instance A directly. This left me unable to see or respond directly to their reply without making an account on instance A

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Two as of the moment, and I hope I don't need to add more.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I have one on lemmy.ca and one on kbin.social. The latter was mostly because federation was broken at the time I signed on with the reddit migration.

I'd say I spend more time on lemmy now? Yes, kbin's interface looks more modern and slick but seems less functional? I particularly like that you can collapse threads on lemmy. And I guess a bunch of apps are headed to lemmy first so there's that.

Usually, I like to post/reply using the kbin account if it's to a kbin magazine, but something weird happened the other day. I actually saw a new post on kbin.social from my lemmy account before it showed up on kbin. I'm not sure how that's even possible?

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)
  1. I started out with the og Lemmy.ml.
  2. Then created my own instance/bot Lemmit.
  3. Thought Lemmy.ml was to slow/unstable, so created an account on Lemmy.world
  4. Gotta have a separate account for grown up stuff, so signed up on LemmyNSFW.com
  5. Gee... Lemmy.world is kinda slow/unstable... Better sign up on lemm.ee...

I'll probably retire the lemmy.ml and world accounts though.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I only recently joined after hearing about lemmy. So far, I've been happy with sopuli.xyz alone.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Haha I cannot say for sure. I certainly started to duplicate my credentials... so now I'm more likely to be logged in as BendyLemmy.

So initially it was Lemmy.ml (which wasn't working too well) and it got annoying that I wasn't logged in when opening links - so BeeHaw, Lemmy.world, https://fosstodon.org/ is BendyToy,...

One thing I'm finding useful now in Bitwarden is that I can autofill and copy (so just refresh for a new password) to get the same username for each one... but it's kind of getting out of hand.

It's a little frustrated that we can't use a kind of centralised profile - like the way an 'opendesktop' account can be used to log in to various instances of websites. If I log in the Opendesktop website, and then go to Mastodon, I find my Opendesktop account gets logged in there - so there's more fragmentation.

Overal it is just very confusing.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

One day I hope we have federated identities. The tech exists but it's not yet woven into how Lemmy does things.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Two so far. Started on slrpnk.net because I liked their community list and general theme and focus. Added midwest.social because I was thinking of hosting a community and I didn't feel like it fit Solarpunk's tight focus, and I didn't want to detract from that. Midwest is now my main, but I actively use both.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Looks like...[checks sidebar] three: .world, .ee, .film. Oh, and kbin. So far .ee seems the peppiest. Wish I didn't have to recreate my subscriptions each time! ๐Ÿ˜

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Two, my main is beehaw but I use this account when they're down.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

One on VLemmy.net, 3 on Kbin.

I wanted to get away using the main Kbin.social server, but am finding my accounts on smaller Kbin instances (Fedia.Io and Readit.buzz) have inferior content to Kbin.social. I will often find posts and image previews missing on smaller instances. I also hate how Kbin warns about missing content any time you Federated magazines.

Also, I got tired of waiting for an iPhone app for Kbin and have started using WefWef for Lemmy.

As a result, I am using VLemmy mostly for my browsing.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I have one in kbin, lemmy.world, lemmy.one, and this one that I'm using right now in my own instance. So 4 total.

I don't use the first three much anymore now that I have this one but prior to this, I was mostly active in lemmy.one

edit: I forgot to mention that I use the other three to test federation between my instance and others.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Two: my main on Lemmy.one and another on Reddthat.com which was the first account I created. I also have a kbin.social account. Really hedging my bets.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Only 1, haven't needed to have more accounts and there isn't an instantance I have wanted to visit but that has blocked mine yet, so no need to have another one right now

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

2 Lemmy instances and also kbin. Wasn't planned, but my first instance was so overrun that there were frequent server problems.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago
[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

just 1, i don't have time for multiple ones.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Two! One on Lemmy.world a day or two after it was started ... that one is now painfully too slow, and a second that was originally going to be just for porn but now is my main, at least till world is sorted out

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

2 but the first was a quick anonymous test that i deleted after quickly getting used to lemmy and this one.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

3, though Iโ€™m including kbin.social too. Iโ€™m settling on Lemmy.world for mobile use, and kbin.social for PC use. I made a Lemmy.ml account at the start of the blackout and just never used it.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Sadly, I had to make an account in two instances.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Only one so far but I might switch for another less laggy one.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

One, since I didn't know how to pick. But it seems great so far.

2 for kbin, because I had no clue, but Lemmy is much snappier. Most likely will be deleting those.
