I found the lemmyverse super confusing for the longest time, especially how so wildly different looking sites would interact.

I see every so often people talking about more than one account on different instances.

Why should i, or why shouldnt use more than one?

What benefits would I, a very average user gain from it?

    Having more than one account is really convenient. You could still browse the fediverse if your instance goes down or something else happens to it. Also you might want a new account because you instance federates(or doesn’t) some other instances. But this can also get out of control. I have 5 Lemmy accounts, 2 kbin accounts, on kbin.social and artemis.camp, so I can use artemis, and 1 account on mastodon

      But you can’t sync your subscriptions between your account, right? If using the second account as backup you’d have to subscribe to your communities twice.
