When I first joined Lemmy I made accounts on lemmy.world, sh.itjust.works and lemm.ee, since I didn't have a solid idea of what instance to pick and wanted to have options. I was using the .world account when posting from a PC (because I liked Alexandrite) and sh.itjust.works on mobile. lemm.ee was a backup, though that whole instance ended up dying...
As soon as Boost started supporting piefed, I jumped ship and chose quokk.au simply because it's the best name. Same reason I was on sh.itjust.works, really. My original two lemmy accounts are still around, but I don't use them at all nowadays. They could come in handy if I ever need to make a lame joke about clones or bots or sockpuppets though.
