A big one I see that if you join any instance it's someone else computer.
Not different from Meta/Reddit. But the probability that among all the instance there is one imposter who wants to steal your credential is non zero.
As usual don't use the same password everywhere
I don’t understand what the point of making more than one account really is if we can view and post to or from any community or instance
They don't mean don't use the same password for other accounts on Lemmy, they mean don't use the same password for other accounts period. Use a password manager or something, and generate a new password for each account. If you use the same one across different services, if one gets hacked they have access to all of them that used the same credentials.
