is it ok to use accounts in place of multi-r*edits?

I miss multireddits, a workaround I found is to create accounts on different instances and subscribe to different communities with each account ie

News [email protected]

Memes and other bullshit [email protected]

“Math” [email protected]

Then just login to which ever one I’m looking to browse. I don’t think this will screw with the fabric of the fediverse, is there any reason I shouldn’t?

I don’t think there’s anything wrong in doing that, if you wanna keep things separated and there are currently no tools to do that with only one account then i think there’s no reason to not go with the multi-accounting approach if you want too, as long as it isn’t a spam level thing

Plus, some clients like liftoff even make that easier by supporting being logged on multiple accounts simultaneously and being able to easily shift between them

darkan15,

I know it is not the main topic of discussion but, there is a discussion on Github about multi communities, if you have a GitHub account please upvote it, or you could add a bounty to it.

I feel like you’re using multiple accounts in a rather creative way, but at the end of the day it isn’t too different from the “normal account, porn account” system that people already use.

So it’s likely fine?

heartlessevil,

No, if you do that the police will federate to your house and arrest you

I can’t see any reason why you wouldn’t do that

Honestly sounds like a great productivity tool

“Alright it’s time for the meme account”

30 minutes later

*Alright time to get stuff done, let’s switch to the production account that’s subbed to all the communities with tutorials for the program I’m about to work in."

DAKTA_NZ,

Is there any easy way of going about this for someone who doesn’t really understand lemmy yet? I’d love an entertainment one and a seperate music production account

Basically you’d just need to go to the instances list and start picking instances to make accounts on.

And for each account search for communities from them and start subbing.

Some of them are easy to get into, others are a bit picky, some are really busy, and some not so much.

I’d recommend staying away from Lemmygrad though unless you want to be around people who simp for Russia and other authoritarian regimes.

Stick with the chill ones and you’ll have a far nicer time on Lemmy, plus from the chill ones it’s easier to block the shit ones.

DAKTA_NZ,

Very useful, thank you!

Pregnenolone,

Just create multiple accounts. Sub the communities in each that you want to. Easy as that.

tatertime,

I had the same idea after i spent a bunch of time subbing a tons of communities on one account and then realizing actually i want to just look at regional news and politics sometimes and keep all the aww and meme type stuff separate.

Of course! At least that’s how I’ve seen it with the uptick recently. Curious why you’d think it’d be an issue?
