The whole point of ActivityPub is that you don't need multiple accounts on different servers. You can use your Lemmy account to talk to people on Mastodon, browse PixelFed, watch PeerTube. Yes, there is sometimes lag in content propagating, and so on, but it's clearly not a show stopper. My experience using Lemmy and Mastodon is the opposite of terrible.
