Same... why would I use a smaller instance when the bigger one has more stuff on it? Maybe I just don't understand this instance thing properly, it all just feels so fragmented
You don't NEED to be on the big instance in order to participate on the big instance.
That's the true beauty of what we're doing here.
Is there ever a reason to have multiple accounts in the fediverse?
One instance might have separate rules than another, so you can use multiple to get around that. Also if one instance gets shutdown for whatever reason you'll need another instance to browse through.
Generally though, no. One instance is fine and helps keep the system from getting overloaded with users.
