I signed up for so many fediverse instances that are open for registration. Yes, so many. Maybe around 10 to 30 instances; I didn’t count. But I’m sure there are many. Am I the only one who does this? 🤣 How many fediverse instances have you signed up for?

    I was on beehaw originally, then I switched to lemmy.world because I wanted to see the whole threadiverse, not just the parts that beehaw deigned to federate with, and now lemm.ee because it seems least likely to impulsively defederate, ban, or otherwise get in the way of me browsing Lemmy. Also it has downvotes. But I only ever used one at a time.

    Just the one right now. I haven’t really found a reason to sign up for more. I also really don’t want the added burden of maintaining multiple accounts. That sounds exhausting.

      I see… 🙂 I’m glad I’m not alone, and I will continue to find the most reliable instance that aligns with me and complements my identity. 🙂

    Five (seven counting instances that have gone down or will soon). I’ve got an account each on Glitch-Soc, Vanilla Mastodon, BookWyrm, Sharkey, and Lemmy (this one). I plan to add Friendica, GoToSocial, and Ibis to my flock of accounts. I may add a snac2 or Hollo if I decide to add some self-hosting to the mix. Not sure I’ll bother with PeerTube or Pixelfed.

    What can I say? I’ve become a bit of a nerd about ActivityPub and I want to try (almost) everything out. 😱

    Only as many as I need for grouping my subscribed communities neatly. As there are no “multireddits” on Lemmy, your subscribed feed will be dominated by the popular communities, while all the small ones will be buried and forgotten. In order to solve that issue, I need a few accounts. If Lemmy grows, my need for accounts also grows. Maybe one day I’ll b have ten accounts.

    Five on Lemmy, one each on Mastodon and Pixelfed (techincally two each, since I moved instances). So that’s seven in total. More if other Fediverse services capture my fancy.

      But do you actually have friends on friendica?

      I try to stay on federated platforms that don’t require a social network effect from people I know irl.

    A handful - lemmy.world because I found it first, feddit.nu because it’s Swedish, piefed because it seemed interesting, dbzero because of yarr and foss
