Still getting into lemmy and understanding federation, but as in the title, should I make multiple accounts on different instances? I created this account on lemmy.ca, but let’s say I want to be a mod for a community on another instance or I want to start a community on another instance. I need an account on that instance right?
Also, is there any way to keep all these accounts linked to one another?
You’d only need a new account if you wanted to make a community on another instance.
You can be a moderator of a community on another instance.
You don’t had to but I say it never hurts to least have another backup account but on a different instance.
Following with this - If the instance your account is with dies… you lose everything right?
Is there (or is there going to be) a way to back up and then import your user account elsewhere if you needed to? Or will it always be the case you’d need to start from scratch on a new instance?
