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!

      My lemmynsfw only shows whack celebrity photos. What am I doing wrong?

        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.

    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

    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.

    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’m on 5 instances, primarily for redundancy just in case an instance experiences hiccups I could login to another.

    Three. I originally signed up on lemmy.world because it was the big one, made an account on lemmynsfw.com for… reasons, then learned that clustering on one instance is a bad idea and made an account, which is now my main, on Midwest.social

    Just two but I’m kicking around the idea of firing up my own today. I’m just not sure I want to sacrifice the anonymity to port this username onto my own domain.
