Creating multiple accounts? do it on seperate instances (lemm.ee)

If you're used to creating multiple accounts on Reddit, try to create them here on separate instances. This distributes the load on instances and is important to keeping Lemmy federated. E.g: not having onr instance becoming "too big". The same deal with cryptocurrencies mining pools.

Because I am Brazilian I have one account in a Brazilian instance. So when I am on the mood to read and participate on talks about Brasilian politics and news, I use that account.

But I live in Germany, so I also have an other account in a German instance when I want only to focus on German conversation, news, culture, memes, etc.

And a third account I have in a specific political orientation instance that is in English. So that account is when I want only talk about my political orientation with like-minded people.

But I am not religious about how I use my accounts. At the moment I am using the account that I created in the Brasilian instance.

Ah ok that makes sense! Thanks for sharing! Sometimes I wonder about having one account for memes and another account for more serious discussion. Lemmy's algorithm isn't exactly like Reddits and so the most popular communities I'm subscribed to (memes) take over my subscribed page and the smaller communities are basically booted out and hidden. On Reddit, my more popular subs never booted out my smaller ones in my subscription feed.
