    Sorry dude, you’ll have to subtract one unfortunately. I created a NSFW account to have two different home feeds.

    Apologies for the inconvenience.

      Have a separate account on burggit.moe and lemmynsfw for this exact reason. Plus a lot of alt accounts on instances that are defederated (different usernames for each).

      You and me both brother… Plus my dumbass might have made one user for pornlemmy and and other for lemmynsfw. I need to be learned

      I think it’s okay, since people on all platforms create multiple accounts and throwaways.

        Why? There’s porn and general stuff. And this dichotomy is beautiful. Like yin and yang.

          I created my lemmy.world account first, but I like the site name for sh.itjust.works so I have one there too.

          In my case:

          feddit.de didn’t update and as soon as I switched to another account I couldn’t login again

          So I created one on shitjustworks. (which ended up with the same problem, but I wouldn’t want to have a third sfw-account so I just waited until it resolved)

          And I wouldn’t be surprised if there was another old account of mine on feddit.de from a time where lemmy was just this weird thing some people in r/berlin linked to

          I’ll probably make a professional identity alongside my personal identity. So two total. Yeah.
