@natharari You would have to create a new user if you want to set up on another server. But you don’t need to set up an account there to interact. That’s the great thing about Mastodon being federated. I mean, we’re on different servers right now!
That said, there’s something to be said for joining a smaller community when you find one that fits. When I was on mastodon.social, the local feed was just too big and fast to follow. Here on wandering.shop I still take a look there from time to time.
@natharari And depending on what you want to do, there may be a use case for juggling IDs on several servers. I have one here that I use for most stuff, and one on photog.social that I use for photography. Other people will split one personal account and one project-related account. Or have an account that they want as their public face, and a locked account for more private stuff.
@natharari My experience has been that adding more mastodon accounts is essentially the same as adding more social networks. I’ve had four since I first started (not counting bots and test accounts), and found it was hard to juggle more than two at a time.
I’ve also found that Tusky does a good job of handling multiple accounts on one phone app.
