I’ve been looking at Piefed and Mbin long-term. Don’t think I’m ready to make the change yet, but when Federation is more reliable, I’ll probably make the move to one of them.
The current Piefed instances unfortunately don’t seem to show what they federate with. I personally would not join an instance which federates with lemmy .ml anymore, for example. But yeah there sure are a lot of options popping up which is great.
Interstellar is almost there but it still doesn’t have notifications unfortunately. It’s also limited to I’m pretty sure only one instance at the moment.
It looks to me like it supports multiple. In fact, it has a default to anonymous kbin.earth setting that I don’t think that you can remove even if you add accounts on other instances.
Ahh, you’re right, thanks. I’d tried creating another account, and just assumed that deleting the active one would work and then switch me to another extant account. Doesn’t display a message or anything, just doesn’t let you do the deletion.
i’m really eying piefed as the future of this communication strategy

I’m a huge fan of piefed.
once it has app support and an instance as clearly aligned with my politics as slrpnk.net i’ll probably move over

You actually can remove the guest kbin.earth account, you just have to add a different account and switch to it first.

But if you switch first, it does work.
