Joined lemmy.world on June 12th, around July 3rd when it got overloaded I joined vlemmy.net, been happy ever since. So 2 instances. I still sometimes check lemmy.world to see if my posts/comments are posting because vlemmy is facing federation issues due to the reddit HoD.

[โ€“] Tucumano88@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

One, lemmy.ml but want to change to a smaller one, any recommendation?

[โ€“] Backfield9368@feddit.de 2 points 2 years ago

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.

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€“] Cyder@lemmy.one 1 points 2 years 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€“] Barbacamanitu@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Two. Started on sopuli.xyz then made one on lemmy.world.

I'm still not super certain how lemmy works, but there seems to be more activity on lemmy.world. Also, when I tried subscribing to communities on sopuli, most of them said "Pending" and I still wasn't subbed after a couple days. Lemmy.world seems easier.

[โ€“] Obi@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 years ago

Hey I'm still on sopuli only, did you notice a big difference from having the .world account?

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

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.

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€“] kunic@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years 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€“] Tucumano88@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

One, since three years ago. Lemmy.ml , but due the massive exodus from reddit I'm looking for an alternative. Looking for smaller instances. Any recommendation? Any instance that speaks Spanish or mix English and Spanish?

[โ€“] hitagi@ani.social 1 points 2 years 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

[โ€“] Badass_panda@lemmy.fmhy.ml 1 points 2 years 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€“] zerbey@infosec.pub 1 points 2 years ago

I'm on lemmy.world (which is being crushed by new users) and infosec.pub. Considering just spinning up my own server.

[โ€“] ZebraGoose@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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

[โ€“] Communist@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

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

[โ€“] Yeah2206@infosec.pub 1 points 2 years 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.

[โ€“] noodles@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 years ago

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

[โ€“] Elkaki123@vlemmy.net 1 points 2 years 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€“] Lasso1971@thelemmy.club 1 points 2 years ago

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

[โ€“] DarthVi@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

Three, first on lemmy.ml, then programming.dev and also lemm.ee.

Lemmy.ml loads very slowly lately, probably due to the recent massive influx of Reddit refugees.

Programming.dev is fine, but from there I mostly see empty pages or less posts when visiting communities hosted on other instances.

Lemm.ee might be a good compromise: loads faster than lemmy.ml and a good generalist instance with a decent amount of users.

[โ€“] Terevos@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

6 or 7..I kinda lost track.

Most were to evaluate the best instance.

One or two were just to force manual federation sync of a community I moderate.

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

[โ€“] mim@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 2 years ago
[โ€“] G0nzo@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

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

[โ€“] its4am@lemmy.sdf.org 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Two. Got my start on lemmy.ml because it was run by the devs and i thought it would be the most reliable. Boy, was i wrong. Got rather annoyed with the instability and now I'm on sdf.org. Is there a way to sync profiles across instances? Would like to see my post history shared between my profiles.
