I have one account I use for everything, I'm too lazy to have alts

One in Lemmy.world. Made it when lemmy.ml was suffering from outages, and returned to lemmy.ml when lemmy.world got pissy about piracy. By then, lemmy.ml was good to go.

That lemmy.world account just collects dust nowadays.

Every single user of the lemmyverse is one of my alts :)

I made three different accounts but I really didn't know what instance to use at first. Now I have landed at the only one I use.

this is my only account

Just 2, one admin account and one "undercover" account. If lemmy could add support for hiding admin/mod tags when we aren't making "official" announcements that would be great. Unfortunately the devs seem to dislike the feature, so alt account it is.

i have a porn account but the porn on this app sucks

I created an account for posting manly-hairy nsfw pics, and I'm not posting anything :)

I have 3, the original one I signed up with after the Reddexodus at the community I identified most with at the start, one with the same name on a community I prefer more now, but keep the old one as a backup. And a final one for porn.

One of the things I miss about Reddit is being able to create accounts without manual approval, and/or without having to supply an email address.

None or about a dozen, depending on how you want to look at it.

I have about a dozen accounts on various instances, and four or five that I use regularly, but they're not really "alts" since they're all the same name - Rottcodd. Unless someone checked the @s and compared them, they likely wouldn't even realize they're not all the same account.

I started out doing it that way because when I first moved here, I just signed up for whatever instances looked appealing for whatever reason, just to try them out, and figured I'd settle on one later. I kept doing it that way because I discovered some advantages.

Each instance actually feels a bit different, since they have different moderation policies, different sets of federated vs. defederated instances, and different sets of communities that members have subscribed to, so different Alls. And I've emphasized that by having different subscribed and blocked lists on different instances.

So if I want to wade through chaos and maybe do some shitposting, I have an account for that. If I want to read or post about gaming or technology or popular media, I have an account for that. If I want to read or post about the arts, literature, society, philosophy and the like, I have an account for that. And if I just want to see comfy, pleasant stuff like cat pictures and recipes, I have an account for that.

My alts are always on my same name. It helps me not have to remember, but it helps me to compartmentalize.

I have one over on lemmy.world that I made when RiF went down and it pointed to that instance. 'Reddit is Fun' was my trusted app of choice for so long that I figured that I'd go with their recommendation.

That mindset was apparently shared with a lot of people, and lemmy.world became overcrowded and unusable every other day for a while due to traffic. That's when I read that one should get registered at a closer and/or smaller instance in order to have better service.

That's when I moved over to SDF's shockingly fast lemmy instance.

This is my main account, I’ve got a backup on Kbin in case my main instance is down. And I’ve got another on Beehaw because they don’t federate with sh.itjust.works.
They’re all called Thelsim though, so I guess they’re not really alts?

I've got four accounts, and I use them all for basically the same thing, although I try to post more to native instances with each account

One for each service I offer.

I only have one alt in the Lemmyverse and the only reason I have it is because I'm a burrow mod and an admin informed me that reports made by Lemmy World members don't show up for Lemm Ee mods, so she (the admin) asked if I could make a Lemmy World alt to help me check reports made by members. The alt is @KaneLivesInDeath@lemmy.world

Unlike when I was on Reddit, I use one account for everything now.

Just this one

~~67. vote manipulation~~

Just 1 so far. In the future I might make an alt on another instance as a backup or something, but so far it doesn't seem necessary. My current instance has a ridiculous amount of donations and a good sysadmin so I'm not worried about it disappearing at the moment.

4 total. This is my main. I also have one on lemmy.world for moderating a few communities on that instance, one on kbin that I don't use, and one for occasional shitposting.

I am presently using this account exclusively since it's working well. This is my 6th or 7th account since joining in July. I was having some technical issues with my accounts on other instances. It's a long story... Started with reddthat.com. I will stick with my present one if this instance continues to exist and function well.

Three. I started with FMHY but that was taken down to a domain name issue then went over to dbz0 before having a 2FA issue. I got that account back but I am here on the smaller leminal.space

4 but I’m only currently active on 2. One is my primary, the other for porn.
