Multiple Lemmy Accounts? (mtgzone.com)

Question here from a new Lemmy user-

Is there any point to creating accounts across multiple Lemmy servers? For example if I wanted to claim the same username on a small hobby Lemmy but also a large general purpose one, does it make sense for me to create multiple accounts, or is that just a waste of time/resources?

I mean if you don't want others to get to it.

Or if say you want to participate on 2 seperate servers that don't federate eachother.

But in general a small hobby lemmy instance, can join all the communities on the large general purpose one. Hence, you are talking from a server I'm not familiar with, and we're talking in a discussion on the largest most general purpose instance.

Only reason I can think of is if you are really worried of people confusing you for say a [email protected], or something.
