Oh sure, I wouldn't say it's a big number - and I would assume too that alternative accounts on different instances have different purposes with a different set of community subscriptions and visitations.

Yep, I made sure Elevator7009@lemmy.zip and Elevator7009@lemmy.world do not have overlapping subs with Elevator7009@ani.social. Although I admit sometimes any of them may weigh in on Fedigrow, only one is actually subbed there, and I do take care to avoid upvoting or downvoting the same post twice.
