It could come in handy not only as username reserve, just found out you can follow mastodon users from kbin (you can’t in lemmy), maybe it’s well know already but for me everything is still a discovery :D
I saw that one of the largest Lemmy’s hadn’t had 3 names taken that are high value (to me at least) so I snatched up the three I use often or really wanted. I’ve always dreamed of being one of the like [email protected] and now I am!
No that’s literally what you don’t need to do. You only need one account, your instance will talk to other instances to bring you content from the whole network, to your one account. That includes the ability to comment on it, and interact with, etc.
I wonder how many people have accidentally signed up for more lemmy instances before they realized that wasn’t needed.
I signed up for a few different ones trying to find one with policies that I can agree with.
No reason not to.
I did…lol
I’m only on one lemmy but I did sign on both lemmy and kbin before realizing they were connected.
Same here :) I consider it reserving my username for now.

I 100% did this in Mastodon when I first signed up.
I’m still not sure what an instance is but I’ll sign up to some more of them if I can get more content.
nope you wont. If you signed up at an instance that hasnt defederated like beehaw then you will be able to see almost anything.
Yep, users registered @beehaw can’t see everything, but everybody else can see beehaw posts.
Can outsiders comment in beehaw posts?
As far as I understand yes they can.
If I’m wrong about this somebody will surely correct me.
