I have accounts on a bunch of instances, just in case the traffic takes some down.

You should check out lemmy.dbzer0.com if you haven't already. It's pretty useful;)

It's the home of the online piracy community. Dbzer0 is the founding mod of r/piracy.

Sorry, another newbie here, what's the point of having accounts on different instances? Can't I post on any instance with the same account?
