I thought one of the advantages of the Fediverse was to have one account but access to many services. Is this possible just not common? I already have a Lemmy account and Mastodon and I didn’t want to start making more just to try out the other services.
What? If it goes down here you also lose everything.
Exactly my point, you’re tied to a specific server for your account regardless. There’s no shared federated user info that can be recovered if that happens. One solution is to make your own instance where your account lives, and then it’s just up to you to make sure it doesn’t get lost in a crash without a backup. But that’s more complex than the average user is willing to take on.
I misread your comment!
Yeah that’s what I did and thanks for telling me to backup!
