Question here from a new Lemmy user-

Is there any point to creating accounts across multiple Lemmy servers? For example if I wanted to claim the same username on a small hobby Lemmy but also a large general purpose one, does it make sense for me to create multiple accounts, or is that just a waste of time/resources?

    I have multiple accounts, but only really for moderation purposes. Cross-instance moderation is semi-broken, so it’s easier to do it that way. Other than that, having an alt is useful in case your main instance goes down.

    I wouldn’t generally worry about impersonation, if someone tries it you could contact the admin of that instance and they’re generally pretty responsive.
