All the time spent building your network and all the people who would not be moving with you. So...the network and the social part of a social network.

I have an account on both, at the moment (three separate Mastodon instances, actually).

Is it necessary to have different accounts to communicate across instances? Surely not?

It's not necessary, one account lets you reply/boost/communicate with anyone.

But if you find an instance catering to a community/topic you like, you may want to create an account there to fully participate in that instance's local timeline.

Interested in this point too!
