Just one? One on many instance? Multiple on one instance? Biggest reasons?

    A few hundred. The fediverse is pretty empty, so I do pretend conversations and reply to myself, like I’ve done here.

    I like to split my non-nsfw and sfw accounts, so I have two accounts each on Twitter, Bluesky, Lemmy and Mastodon.

    For Lemmy I had accounts on Beehaw and Sh.itjust.works before they fell out and I don’t think either handled it well.

    For Mastodon, I originally made an account on Mastodon.scot, but switched to furry.engineer because apparently meow.social blocks mastdon.scot for an unknown reason. I then reactivated it later when Mastodon.art decided to go on its crusade against trans people and furries, so now I kinda use both.

      When I created the account here, I decided to say “screw it” and use my one account for everything. I had the split accounts on reddit, still have both names, but my “clean” account is only used when yiffit is taking a break. I also don’t need that one anymore as I just created a backup on pawb.social.

    I have 7 accounts across lemmy/kbin/mbin instances. I am still trying to figure out which one suits me the best.

    one. I don’t have a lot of time to mess around. If I have to move I will likely have two for a bit. I have not deleted my reddit as I decided to run the delete on a semi regular basis if that counts but I don’t actually use it.

    I have multiple accounts on Mastodon, kbin, Lemmy, Misskey and Pixelfed. I originally signed up to different communities to get a feel for what worked for me. I’m glad I did because one was sold (mastodon.cloud) to a shady spam company, and my favorite Mastodon instance that I settled on had an admin hissyfit and shut down because he didn’t own any big boy pants. And another instance suddenly became a csam farm and I deleted that crap real fast.

    I still visit a few local communities to see how they have developed, some better than others. Some are just people moaning about everything they can post about, just like twitter is. So annoying.

    I personally find that I have more fun on kbin and I use Mastodon for news and keeping up with hashtag follows. I really hope in the future that kbin gets more tools like Mastodon with following hashtags, bookmarks and a filtering system like they do. It’s really nice to be able to mute and block other people easily.

    This is my 3rd because I keep signing up on small instances and then they shut down 😔

      Hopefully your most recent has some staying power. Small instances seem to have less, but better activity, but they also only have 1 admin who might just decide to quit one day.

    Just one. I don’t want to manage a bunch.

    I had a porn one but the instance was too inactive to meet consumption needs.

      Overall there doesn’t seem to be a lot of activity outside of the really big communities. As for porn, other than the larger communities on lemmynsfw, not a whole lot of activity.

    Twenty-five Lemmy instance accounts, plus two Kbin/Mbin instance accounts, three Mastodon instance accounts, one Sharkey instance account, and one Firefish instance account.

    I created one on kbin.social one day when pawb went down, and quickly discovered that Kbin is not a good piece of server software and never touched that account again

      careful with that in this post. So many of the replies here are from kbin accounts. In fact I’ve never seen so many. When initially making my account here, I did glance at kbin, but I just didn’t like how it presented itself.

    Just this one. I don’t want to juggle more passwords than are really necessary, and I’m not too worried at the idea of others scrolling down my profile and seeing that I’m a furry, a TF fan, and sometimes an outwardly sexual person when the situation allows it.
