You can just think of that other account of yours as a backup. Think of it this way: your account lives in a server (kbin.social, lemmy.world, lemmy.ml etc). When you make another account on another server (i.e., you make an account on lemmy.world), that account lives there in that separate server. So you can have two Brad_Braces (even ten if you feel like it) but of different servers. There’s no conflict anyway

You are not logged in. If you use a Fediverse account that is able to follow users, you can follow this user.
That’s only if you’re a Matrix user, I guess? Matrix is like the Facebook Messenger or Whatsapp or Telegram of the fediverse, like how Lemmy and Kbin are the Reddits of the fediverse, Pixelfed is the Instagram, and Mastodon is the Twitter.
Think of instances as “continents” where communities (think of them as “countries”) and users set up their base. For example, you’re now in the lemmy.world instance. That means you are a resident of the lemmy.world instance.
You can “travel” to other instances and participate in the communities they have there too and vice versa.
You only need one account to access the entire Lemmy network. So you can still access the movies community on lemmy.ml if it does become the definitive one and considering that it’s the “main” instance right now, that shouldn’t be hard either.
I mean, I’m commenting here in lemmy.world from lemmy.ml
Go to hamburger menu (the three lines on the upper left corner) and then press on the Anonymous Browsing or whatever. Then a dropdown will appear that says “Add Account”. Then add your account
No one wants the moderation headaches, that’s why
Community’s very small at the time, but it’ll get larger with time
If you have any more questions, don’t hesitate to ask!
Okay, since your home instance is lemmy.world (think of the instances as your home “continent”), you should use lemmy.world as your instance
There’s already a mobile app for the entire Lemmy community though, and it’s Jerboa
You can access and comment in Lemmy from kbin, but I’m not sure if you can do the same for Mastodon. But Mastodon users can certainly use their accounts to comment on Lemmy. The beauty of the fediverse (or threadiverse, as some guys like to call it)
