So far I use: Matrix, Friendica, Lemmy, PieFed. I also follow 1 or 2 persons on Mastodon, using Friendica.

I want to try vutuv now. Maybe in the future some more services.

Now I wonder if I should really register a new account for each service. May I ask for your advice? What do you recommend?

    No offense, but sounds like you’re trading one social media addiction for another. If you’re just checking them out, why even make an account? I thought the whole point of the fediverse was to use an account and go across services? I’ve seen piefed stuff on Lemmy and iirc, mastadon too.

      Not all the different services talk to each other in a way that you can use just 1 account for the entire fediverse. Lemmy, Piefed and Mastodon can all cross communicate (tho afaik Mastodon is one way only-you can post to Lemmy from Mastodon, but not Lemmy to Mastodon); but none of them communicate with Matrix. So you need at least 2 accounts if you wanted to use all of these services.

      That’s absolutely NOT the whole point.
      The main point is to avoid vendor lock-in, and monopolistic abuses.

      If you make a pixelfed account somewhere and want to follow Lemmy conversations, you’ll have trouble for a number of reasons.

      Different services have different functions, even within microblogging and different apps support different sites, don’t think any support all services on activityhub at once.
