I am still learning this whole thing and I ended up creating accounts here and on Mastodon. Is that necessary or do I automatically have a Mastodon username with my Lemmy? I used the same stuff on both accounts, can I merge them or something?

Edit: thanks everyone, I can’t respond to each comment while I’m at work, but I appreciate every one of you!

    I keep them separate – I don’t like a single point of failure, and we’re all so early on the fediverse stuff that I’m sure a few servers and services will implode in the near future before things settle down. Would be a real hassle to have everything attached to a single account.

      This was my thought exactly! I ended up signing up for access on 11 servers in a mix of mastodon, lemmy and kbin. Probably went overboard.
