Might be a dumb question but can I use the same username and sign up for other instances? I have tried two different instances and it lets me make a account but then says my login info is wrong and I can’t sign in.
I tried it on lemmy.world and lemmy.nsfw and both times it said I had the wrong log on but this was a few weeks ago so I’ll give it another try. I even tried changing my password several times and nothing.

Yes.
Yes! You can make multiple accounts using the exact same username on multiple instances.
The signup/login experience is really bad on the official Lemmy-ui. Make sure you verified your email if needed before trying to login.
This is actually the reason why I’m able to unify multiple instances into one account on my Lemmy App, Nemmy.

I’ve done it with lemmy world and lemdroid
Here is proof
Prove it. Pick a number in your head and make your other account guess it.
7?
No.
Well now I feel like I’m back on Reddit. Equal amount of yes and no with no real answer or proof in sight.
