Not to be rude, but they clearly explained why. I did pretty much the same thing after my main account on Vlemmy died
Okay, after reading it several times I think I got it, thanks for pointing it out.
Here's me from feddit.nl.
When vlemmy.net died permanently, it took my only login into lemmy, and my list of subbed communities.
Having learned the hard way about the volatility of theninstances, I don't want to have to go through the login creation and resubbing communities everytime this happens, and I like my login (it's the same for everything sinxe the 90s), so I created "fallback" logins in other instances (sh.itjust.works, feddit.nl, lemmy.world), as backups, and also to "reserve" my login name.
I have all of them configured in Jerboa, when any of them is down, I just switch. Interestingly, the one that I've never seen down is the smallest, feddit.nl.
