is it ok to use accounts in place of multi-r*edits? (lemmy.world)

I miss multireddits, a workaround I found is to create accounts on different instances and subscribe to different communities with each account ie

News trabic@lemmy.world

Memes and other bullshit trabic@lemmy.one

"Math" trabic@lemmynsfw.com

Then just login to which ever one I'm looking to browse. I don't think this will screw with the fabric of the fediverse, is there any reason I shouldn't?

I don't think there's anything wrong in doing that, if you wanna keep things separated and there are currently no tools to do that with only one account then i think there's no reason to not go with the multi-accounting approach if you want too, as long as it isn't a spam level thing

Plus, some clients like liftoff even make that easier by supporting being logged on multiple accounts simultaneously and being able to easily shift between them

Jerboa and Connect do that with account switching too.

Lately I've been leaving different accounts in different apps to reduce confusion. Having the same user name on the different instances is a bit confusing with the account switcher.

I see, yeah that makes sense
