I'm sure there's no way to tell, but I wonder how many are duplicate accounts to span different instances.

I think the best way to judge success is to look at the overall engagement and that one is very high.

You could probably find some ways to get a few of em but i don't know.
You shouldn't really need more than one or two accounts tho. Talking from kbin :)

What would be the use case for having two accounts?

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I’ve heard SOME people are using a separate account for consuming highly unchristian forms of media, DEFINITELY not me though

One possibility is an instance shutting down. Many instance admins are good about giving lots of notice, but sometimes that doesn't happen.

In fact there has been at least one instance on the fediverse which the admin disappeared from the internet, and their instance just slowly degenerated until it stopped working. Were they hit bt a bus? Who knows.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Big instances might want to have some contingency plans in place. This sounds like something we should all be aware of

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Porn posts. It's now on the fedi, so people may want to keep it separate

Cowards, the lot of them!

Maybe two instances that defederated from one another

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Using different accounts to route around and still access content at instances that defederated from your original account’s instance.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You can still view content from instances that defederated from your instance as long as your instance didn't block them.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You can still follow defederated content as long as you follow the users/instance?

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

In my experience, yes. I can see BeeHaw's content event though they defederated from my home instance a couple of days ago. I've also commented on some of their posts, which is weird...

[–] minimar 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Your comments won't show for beehaw or other instances, only people on your instance can see those comments.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Interesting. Is it safe to assume that beehaw would start seeing those same comments if they refederate with sh.itjust.works?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

No, only comments made after they refederate

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

If say, someone in Beehaw wanted to interact with Lemmy.World, they’d have to make an account on Lemmy.World or some other instance that hasn’t defederated

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Lemmy is blocked by my workplace firewall, kbin isn't. But I also want to use Jerboa.

[–] mykl 14 points 1 year ago

Yeah, if I’m anything to go by, you’d need to divide these figures by at least three to get to the number of new people. Still, it’s not a bad start.
