3 (4 if you count kbin). Beehaw (which took weeks to be approved) so moved to Lemmy world, which is now overloaded and slow so Lemm.ee which is snappy and fast.

3, Lemmy.world beehaw.org sh.itjust.works and my own selfhosted ๐Ÿ˜„

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Two, and a Kbin. The first instance was just for bots (friendly ones I made), then I signed up for this account to use as an alt as Kbin is a bit flaky. Kbin is my main account but I'm using this one quite a bit due to frequent 500 errors over there.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I have one on lemmy.ca and one on kbin.social. The latter was mostly because federation was broken at the time I signed on with the reddit migration.

I'd say I spend more time on lemmy now? Yes, kbin's interface looks more modern and slick but seems less functional? I particularly like that you can collapse threads on lemmy. And I guess a bunch of apps are headed to lemmy first so there's that.

Usually, I like to post/reply using the kbin account if it's to a kbin magazine, but something weird happened the other day. I actually saw a new post on kbin.social from my lemmy account before it showed up on kbin. I'm not sure how that's even possible?

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Looks like...[checks sidebar] three: .world, .ee, .film. Oh, and kbin. So far .ee seems the peppiest. Wish I didn't have to recreate my subscriptions each time! ๐Ÿ˜

Only one, don't feel like having multiple accounts of something that I have to remember to use.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Two so far. Started on slrpnk.net because I liked their community list and general theme and focus. Added midwest.social because I was thinking of hosting a community and I didn't feel like it fit Solarpunk's tight focus, and I didn't want to detract from that. Midwest is now my main, but I actively use both.

2 as of today. My main is on BeeHaw, but I realized that some of the communities I wanted to follow were on defederated instances, so I signed up for programming.dev. I think I'm going to use it for the tech-related communities (plus anything defederated) and BeeHaw for the rest

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

what does it mean if a community is defederated? does that mean that community can only be accessed by the instance it is hosted on?

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

A specific instance (like BeeHaw) can defederate other instances. It's basically like blocking that instance so users on BeeHaw can't interact with that instance.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

So for example if BeeHaw defederated Lenny.World, BeeHaw users won't be able to see communities from Lemmy.World?

What about if Lemmy.World users comment on Lemmy.ml posts, can BeeHaw users see Lemmy.World user's comments?

I'm on two right now. It seems like there are issues with comments loading from other instances. For example I commented on a post hosted on instance A from my instance B, but I couldn't see the replies to my comment without going to instance A directly. This left me unable to see or respond directly to their reply without making an account on instance A

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Two as of the moment, and I hope I don't need to add more.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Four.

  • Lemmy.ml, but not sure if they were accepting sign ups and wasnโ€™t accepted.
  • Beehaw, but found communities on Lemmy.world I couldnโ€™t see.
  • Lemmy.world, but had performance issues and realised I couldnโ€™t see Beehaw ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ.
  • Finally landed on Lemm.ee and Iโ€™m happy here.

I only recently joined after hearing about lemmy. So far, I've been happy with sopuli.xyz alone.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

One, since three years ago. Lemmy.ml , but due the massive exodus from reddit I'm looking for an alternative. Looking for smaller instances. Any recommendation? Any instance that speaks Spanish or mix English and Spanish?

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Two! One on Lemmy.world a day or two after it was started ... that one is now painfully too slow, and a second that was originally going to be just for porn but now is my main, at least till world is sorted out

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Only 1, haven't needed to have more accounts and there isn't an instantance I have wanted to visit but that has blocked mine yet, so no need to have another one right now

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Three, first on lemmy.ml, then programming.dev and also lemm.ee.

Lemmy.ml loads very slowly lately, probably due to the recent massive influx of Reddit refugees.

Programming.dev is fine, but from there I mostly see empty pages or less posts when visiting communities hosted on other instances.

Lemm.ee might be a good compromise: loads faster than lemmy.ml and a good generalist instance with a decent amount of users.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

2 but the first was a quick anonymous test that i deleted after quickly getting used to lemmy and this one.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago
[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

2 Lemmy instances and also kbin. Wasn't planned, but my first instance was so overrun that there were frequent server problems.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Two, my main is beehaw but I use this account when they're down.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Only one so far but I might switch for another less laggy one.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

One, since I didn't know how to pick. But it seems great so far.

2 for kbin, because I had no clue, but Lemmy is much snappier. Most likely will be deleting those.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

3, though Iโ€™m including kbin.social too. Iโ€™m settling on Lemmy.world for mobile use, and kbin.social for PC use. I made a Lemmy.ml account at the start of the blackout and just never used it.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

One on VLemmy.net, 3 on Kbin.

I wanted to get away using the main Kbin.social server, but am finding my accounts on smaller Kbin instances (Fedia.Io and Readit.buzz) have inferior content to Kbin.social. I will often find posts and image previews missing on smaller instances. I also hate how Kbin warns about missing content any time you Federated magazines.

Also, I got tired of waiting for an iPhone app for Kbin and have started using WefWef for Lemmy.

As a result, I am using VLemmy mostly for my browsing.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Two: my main on Lemmy.one and another on Reddthat.com which was the first account I created. I also have a kbin.social account. Really hedging my bets.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I have one in kbin, lemmy.world, lemmy.one, and this one that I'm using right now in my own instance. So 4 total.

I don't use the first three much anymore now that I have this one but prior to this, I was mostly active in lemmy.one

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Two. Started on sopuli.xyz then made one on lemmy.world.

I'm still not super certain how lemmy works, but there seems to be more activity on lemmy.world. Also, when I tried subscribing to communities on sopuli, most of them said "Pending" and I still wasn't subbed after a couple days. Lemmy.world seems easier.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Hey I'm still on sopuli only, did you notice a big difference from having the .world account?
