It literally takes 20 seconds to make an account and password manager manage everything for you. The federation here would bring almost no value for incredible increase in complexity.
Do you then also proceed to install the client 20 times? Or do you constantly log in and out? Sounds like a hassle that federation would solve!
Or they could just do what discord does and let you log into multiple accounts at the same time. As good as federation is for freedom, it is a privacy nightmare. Anyone who federates with you gets a copy of either everything, or all the metadata depending on what software and server we are talking about. Matrix shares all metadata, Lemmy shares almost everything by necessity.
