That's the neat part, you don't... have to choose. You can be on both! A set of linked alts is a very responsible way to use the fediverse; that way if an instance has downtime you have continuous identity.

Thanks for the reminder on the linked alts.
Does anyone have any documentation to share on linked alts?
Just add links to them in your bios
Instructions unclear, ~~dick~~ computer stuck in post.
Piefed has fields for it, on lemmy I just put them in my profile textbox.
Most people complain that many accounts / not knowing where they should create them is the main obstacle to adoption. Creating even more seems worse
For now if you use Voyager, youβll need to stick with Lemmy. But since itβs all federated it doesnβt much matter.
If you use Mlem can you do both?
Mlem dev here. We're working hard on implementing Piefed support, but it'll be another few weeks before it's ready. If you want to use both in a single app right now, consider using Interstellar :)
Thank you!
