No rules against it, go wild
Thanks for the reply , i have one more question would there be any issues for my other account if my one account gets banned ?
That depends on how your alt reacts.
If I ban you from comics for repeated rule breaking and your alt hasn't interacted with comics then nothing will happen to your alt. But if you continue the bad behaviour with your alt then you will find your alt being banned too.
Understood, thanks for the reply
If you give all the accounts the same name, the admins might catch on.
Up to the admins'/mods' discretion I suppose. If they see it as ban evading they might ban you from engaging from their communities or instances on the 2nd account as well. But each instance has their own admins so as long as the admins of that one don't ban you, you'd be able to engage with the rest of lemmy
Kind of the idea of lemmy, really, is that you can't be "censored" as such since you can always join or create your own instance, and continue using it
I have multiple accounts on different instances. Some apps, including Voyager, support it. If you have multiple accounts on the same instance and start getting banned, you might have a bad time. If your accounts are on different instances, it will probably be less of a problem, and what banned you on one may not even be bannable on the other. For an idea of how bad it can get, watch for user cm0002 or somesuch, and try to figure out how many instances he's on.
There is no universal Lemmy rule or anything against that, but any instance could hypothetically set their own rule stating "You are not allowed to have an active account on any other instance" or something. With that said, I have never seen an instance with a rule anywhere near that (granted, I have only read the rules for a handful of instances, not even close to most instances). It is unlikely you will ever see a rule like that, but it could technically happen. Make sure to thoroughly read the rules of whatever instance you are considering signing up for.
Sure i won't go near such instances
