I was Reddit earlier and viewing one of question subs. The top 5 comments were all ‘jokes’.

What’s worse is no matter how unfunny the top jokes are you’ll get hundreds of cold comments flogging the joke to death.

The 6th top comment actually answered the question.

Lemmy may not have as much content but what is here is so much better quality.

    An argument against that is that typically the only need for multiple accounts is if a specific instance has defederated against another instance. In most cases those defederated instances are hosting hostile or pedo content. Good riddance!

      Except there has been (still is?) all the drama between the tankie instances and the big instances defederating from each other that I was happy to sidestep by joining a smaller instance.

      all instances dont upgrade their Lemmy version at the same time: sometimes a spare account is required to keep browsing Lemmy. Also some servers become sluggish when they become popular and have high usercount. I always prefer to sign up to the next newest and smallest instance out there: that way i keep browsing Lemmy smoothly. And also yea: multiples accounts spare me also the Lemmy drama of federation/defedaration.
