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

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
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?
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.
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?

All of them! hahaha, I will own the fediverse now!
Two as of the moment, and I hope I don't need to add more.
Sadly, I had to make an account in two instances.
Haha I cannot say for sure. I certainly started to duplicate my credentials... so now I'm more likely to be logged in as BendyLemmy.
So initially it was Lemmy.ml (which wasn't working too well) and it got annoying that I wasn't logged in when opening links - so BeeHaw, Lemmy.world, https://fosstodon.org/ is BendyToy,...
One thing I'm finding useful now in Bitwarden is that I can autofill and copy (so just refresh for a new password) to get the same username for each one... but it's kind of getting out of hand.
It's a little frustrated that we can't use a kind of centralised profile - like the way an 'opendesktop' account can be used to log in to various instances of websites. If I log in the Opendesktop website, and then go to Mastodon, I find my Opendesktop account gets logged in there - so there's more fragmentation.
Overal it is just very confusing.
One day I hope we have federated identities. The tech exists but it's not yet woven into how Lemmy does things.
All of them
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.
Four.
- Lemmy.ml, but not sure if they were accepting sign ups and wasnโt accepted.
- Beehaw, but found communities on Lemmy.world I couldnโt see.
- Lemmy.world, but had performance issues and realised I couldnโt see Beehaw ๐คฆโโ๏ธ.
- Finally landed on Lemm.ee and Iโm happy here.
Beehaw has chosen to defederate from lemmy.world so that makes sense.
Yeah I knew they had defederated, but didnโt fully think through joining Lemmy.world would have the same issues of not being able to see the entire Lemmyverse.
I only recently joined after hearing about lemmy. So far, I've been happy with sopuli.xyz alone.
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?
I'm on lemmy.world (which is being crushed by new users) and infosec.pub. Considering just spinning up my own server.
Two. One on lemmy.ml originally, and then I made a second on feddit.de because I live in Germany so I thought a German instance would be nice, and they don't show NSFW posts which makes browsing in the office a little less awkward.
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.
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
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.
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.
Two, my main is beehaw but I use this account when they're down.
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
2 Lemmy instances and also kbin. Wasn't planned, but my first instance was so overrun that there were frequent server problems.
Only one so far but I might switch for another less laggy one.
2 but the first was a quick anonymous test that i deleted after quickly getting used to lemmy and this one.
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.
1
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
3, though Iโm including kbin.social too. Iโm 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.
Two, I'm liking this instance more than lemmy.world
