Following @lemmy was a bad idea. It's literally every comment with subpar context. Which is fine, the mental models of twitter and reddit are different, after all, but it's (hdev.im)

Not an easy problem to solve by any stretch, which is why I assume core functionality is the focus before doing it, but better than the multiple persona issue we have at the moment.

In my early exploration I have 1 Lemmy and 1 Mastodon account, but all my eggs are in one basket should it go offline. If I wanted to have choice of even 2 instances for each service, I’m now looking at 4 ‘handles’.

Not a fun problem to solve, but long term it’s not a great problem to have. At least if I can run my own identity server I don’t need to trust a single entity outside of me with my online identity.
