And how many of those accounts are for NSFW content?
For the sake of anonymity, people without separate accounts can pretend to be sock-puppets of those answering.
This is the way.
Though, my Lemmy illiteracy has lead me to make an account per instance. So I have one here, .world and nsfw. Is it possible to go on different instances with the same account?
Yes. You can use the search function for that, just search for “community@instance”, so for example “worldnews@lemmy.world”.
Linking to communities from other instances works similarly, using a “!”: !worldnews@lemmy.world
You can also append this type of address to your instance url like so:
https://lemmy.ml/c/worldnews@lemmy.world
As long as another instance is not explicitly defederated (blocked) from yours, you can visit any community from any instance this way.
I have 3 on different instances with all the same subscriptions in case one goes down.
One on lemmy.world (June 15th), this account I’ve made on lemmy.fmhy.ml (July 3rd), and one on lemmynsfw (also July 3rd). My lemmy.fmhy.ml account is my main now, I only login on lemmy.world if I want a more up-to-date feed and content, though the lemmyverse has already gotten bigger and has more content nowadays so that’s no longer necessary.
One on lemmy.world and one on kbin.social, because I wanted to try out both. I only use Lemmy, but I’ll keep kbin as a backup in case there’s any shenanigans with Lemmy in the future. And I still have my old Reddit account cause I can’t bring myself to delete it, but that profile just points people to my Lemmy account.
You mean Fediverse accounts? I have one for Lemmy and one for Mastodon. Boring? Yeah, I know.
