Please note this is just a beta and there are going to be bugs, but it works and it works nicely. Have fun.
minus-square@aircooledJenkinslinkEnglish2•1 year agoTo switch, you make a new account, right? Cannot change your instance once a username is made?
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish3•1 year agoCorrect, a new account since accounts are tied to the instance. It’s not a great experience at the moment but I suppose part of the trade-off for now with the fediverse. Maybe a tool or something native will be made later to help the use case.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish3•1 year agoYour username is made on instances. So yeah, you can’t just switch. However you could just recreate the username on a different instance though.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish2•1 year agoYou have to have a separate account for each instance. That’s how Lemmy and other federated sites work. That’s the whole point.
