I know you can use a single login to subscribe to communities from other servers, but are there any advantages to having an account on each server compared to having a single account connected to communities on other servers?

    Yes. Lemmy is a collection of little dictatorships that all share the contents of their domains.

    If you piss off someone, you’ll be permabanned much quicker than even the bad site. The good part of this is you can just pick another instance and ignore that.

    You will find communities and even entire instances that fundamentally disagree with your existence, no matter how benign and agreeable you are. It’s good to just set up a few accounts to continue enjoying your time even when a random rich piece of trash finds an issue with you.
