What do people use more than one account for? I don't want to give up the one on mastodon.social but what am I supposed to do with two? :breadthink:

@Julia I have one on mastodon.art to post drawings and such.

@Anke So multiple accounts are for talented people. Mist! 🍞 (Note to self: somehow get Bernd das Brot as an emoji)

@Julia @Anke not sure talent is a requirement ... used to have a German language account, for example ... or you could use one to focus on a special interest, e.g. something like programming, Linux or cross stitching

@numimyon @Julia
I try to post stuff about birds and nature on birb.site rather than tootplanet.net

@numimyon @Anke I do too many things only a little bit to dedicate a whole account do one thing. Maybe I can make one craft-heavy. Or one just 100% positive all the time. Maybe m.s for complainining and this one to talk about how pretty rainbows are. I DON'T KNOW! I'M SPITBALLING HERE! 😆

@Julia @Anke cool OMG ... just had an amazing idea ... I'm gonna create a separate account for complaining !! In German !!! (nothing like complaining in your native tongue)

@numimyon @Anke German is the perfect language to complain in!

@Julia
I have one for being serious, another for being less serious.

(Or for the Germans: one for being serious and another for being differently serious.)

@mikeburns
HOW DARE YOU!
(That is a good idea, though 😁 )

@Julia I use second one for posts about my birds and the third one for soapmaking related stuff

@hal WHAT IS THAT SECOND ONE?! I'm following the soap one but I NEED THOSE BIRDS!

@hal Ah, that's YOU! Okay, I'm already following that but good to know it's yours. I was just "BIRB *follow*"

@Julia i simply set my original mastodon.social account to refer any previous followers to this one, since i haven't got an alter ego (that this fediverse needs to know about...)
then of course my cats are each cute enough to have their own accounts... life, eh?

@penduin @Julia

How do you do that? I have another account that I don't use and would like to steer folks here.

@kemiki @Julia at the bottom of the edit-profile screen, you can refer to a new account.

@Julia lots have several accounts as they may find better ones.

Can keep some as back up if the others don’t work. Tho I thought it was change of scenery by my moving instance and cos if the name lol

@applecandy The name is pretty good, that's true.
