Does it even make a difference? Would much appreciate some suggestions.

    Just keep in mind you might have to instance hop again if your chosen instance goes down, but that’s OK.

      Hmm. Do any of the apps allow you to seamlessly manage more than one?

          The default web frontend has no such provision. If SDF is down I have to go and navigate to my backup instance like a peasant.

          Maybe I should switch to an app. The only trick is that I’ll have to hack it a little bit to make sure it always launches over Tor. Unless I get on Qubes soon.

            Well yeah a web front-end wouldn’t have that as it’s intrinsically tied to the instance lol

              I know. I was slightly butthurt at the suggestion I’m Lemmying wrong, though. Without third party software, movement between instances isn’t seamless right now, just possible.

                Oh, lol definitely didn’t mean to imply that haha, was just saying all the apps I’ve tried (I literally only use mobile to access Lemmy) have the ability to add and swap between accounts on different instances :)

        I’m new to this but I’ve found Voyager has served me really well so far. I have two accounts now lemm.ee is going.

            I believe so. If you click the cog wheel (settings) in voyager and scroll down you have an option to backup / restore and I would assume you could use that?

        Most Lemmy apps support switching quickly between instances.

        In theory, this could ease the transition when an instance closes, I guess.

        In reality, the Internet is for pornography.

        It presumably makes it easier to quickly switch between porn-free and porn-full subscription sets.

        I say “Presumably”, because I’m above all that… here on my non-porn account.

        Plus…there’s probably someone here who carefully separates their Linux Lemmys into one account and their railway and mass transit news Lemmys into another.
