This is me with my own username trying to figure out which one to use and if I can merge them.
Same. I use both lemmy.ml and lemmy.one. mostly use lemmy.one now since lemmy.ml is not loading properly for me, probably because of the massive influx of users into the same instance, overwhelming the server.
Since I am having no problems with lemmy.one, I'll stay here, but thanks for the recommendation, maybe it will help someone else who is frustrated right now with their current instance performance.
This is probably one thing that Bluesky does well -- you have the option (and are encouraged) to use your own domain name as a username, and you can do so without having to run an instance.
I'll sometimes search for an acc I want to follow and they have 5 different accounts with different fedi addresses. I know I want the Mastodon account but often there's no indication which one is Mastodon, which one is Pixelfed which one lemmy etc in the name.
So you end up with account@mastodon account@pixelfed account@lemmy.ml in the best case.
And account@instancename1 account@instancename2 account@instancename3 in the worst case.
And they all have the same icon and belong to the same person
Not the threesome we envisioned, but the threesome we get and love. May your feddiverse variants be as majestic as you are, and shitpost as vivaciously through one another.
