I think this is why lemmy.ml has been asking people to stop signing up there. Centralising everything goes against the point of the Fediverse but also ends up costing the people running the instance a lot of money. It’s best for everyone if we all spread out a bit.
My other account is on Beehaw.org and they’re pretty transparent about what it’s costing them and how many donations they’ve had, it’s definitely interesting https://beehaw.org/post/416496
Nah, I just have two because I’ve historically split my online presence up into these two usernames. Tbh I’ve just subbed this one to all of the same communities as the other one so it’s largely pointless until things spread out a bit more, but if I’m posting about videogames I tend to do it under this name and if I’m posting about cross stitch I tend to do it on the other one. Eurovision goes on both :D
No actual practical benefit beyond it just seeming tidier to me lol.

Is it beneficial to have accounts across multiple instances?
