First time posting, but i was wondering if i was the only one who had more than 2 accounts in total on here
I’ve got one on kbin and two on Lemmy. Don’t know wtf I’m doing but ideally I’ll stick with this kbin account since eventually it will be an “all in one” account for kbin, Lemmy and mastodon. Just waiting on a dedicated kbin app.
Started with one at lemmy.world, moved to this one at feddit.uk because I wanted to interact with both beehaw and lemmy.world which were defederated from each other. I have one at kbin but I’ll probably access everything from here for simplicity. So, 3.
I would be interested from the users who have multiple accounts, do you use the same name and password everywhere, so do you use the accounts as “one”, or is it different for each instance?
If so, why?
For security reasons, if the database of an instance is cracked?
Do you not want your NSFW account’s postings to be associated with your other stuff?I use a password manager (Keepass) so every service has a different password usually 24 characters with upper-lower case, numbers, and special.
For critical services like paypal and email, I also use different usernames.
So far same name, different passwords. Not really much thought given to any of it, I just wanted to get up and running quickly and I’ll possibly change it when things settle down (I’m not really attached to this name). Different passwords is just good standard practice.
same username but different passwords
I have this one and a backup just because my main is on lemmygrad and this instance tends to get defederated (rightfully) due to genocide denial amongst others things. I just thought the name sounded cool :')
two. this one, and I made an account on fedia.io back when kbin was having issues federating. but I only use this one now.
Just one right now. I’ll probably spin up my own instance at some point though.
Stupid question. How is everyone managing the accounts, emails and content? How do you manage multiple profiles? (As I understand apps and tools are still lacking).
Password manager + you can add multiple accounts in the jerboa app
I think I’m up to 12 now across both platforms.
May i ask why? Personally the only reason i have 5 is because most of the ones i signed up for initially became heavily overloaded
- I want to protect my username.
- The overall landscape is very ephemeral and disjoint right now.
- Outages and system instability across the network.
- Lack of clear direction or long-term plans by admins.
Makes sense, but I am curious would you delete most of those if things stabilized or would you just keep them there just incase?
I’ve got three. I started with a beehaw account but now have one at sh.itjust.works after beehaw defederated and a third at lemmynsfw for…reasons.
You have reasons too‽ We should be best friends!
Two for me, one lemmy and one kbin
