Some users have accounts on more than a single instance, some instances may be malicious, home to just spam/bot accounts.
Things are looking promising, but it's still early.
This is my account on this instance. Jerboa search doesn't give me a ton of communities when I'm logged into my main lemmy.zip account. And I haven't figured out a way to load a community manually on mobile that allows me to subscribe with my .zip account, so I add subscriptions infrequently on my laptop.
