I've been on Lemmy and Mastodon for a little while but still not super active on either, and haven't really kept up with fediverse stuff as a whole.
With that said, I'm interested, what are you using, how are you using it, and what are you using it on? Do you have a bunch of accounts per platform? Do you try use one account across everything as much as you can?
I'll go first with something of a template that might make responding easier for people:
EDIT: Apologies for the formatting, it seems like some of the markdown stuff is broken/very different to any other markdown formatting I've used and this is the best I can do. Hope it's legible enough.

Mastodon
-
Accounts: 2 — an anonymous one that I occasionally post from (on an NZ instance) and one under my real name that I basically just use to save my name as a handle (on mastodon.social, cos it seems like the one most likely to endure all things)
-
Apps: Ice Cubes, Mammoth — I have both accounts on both apps, I like each for different reasons. Ice Cubes is super customisable and open, Mammoth is pretty.
-
Uses: Following some podcast hosts, keeping up with local news.
Lemmy
-
Accounts: 1 — just this one I'm posting from.
-
Apps: Memmy and Mlem. I was a long-time Apollo user and have been seeking out a Lemmy app with that level of polish. Nothing really feels quite the same, but I'm sure with time one of them will get there.
-
Uses: Trying to replace Reddit as a discussion board for a bunch of topics I my real-world friends aren't as interested in, and for keeping up with tech news.
Pixelfed
-
Accounts: 1 — under my real name.
-
Apps: 0 at the moment. I used the Pixelfed test flight app for a while, but it seemed to be hurting my battery life. When it gets a proper app store release, I'll probably grab it again if nothing else comes along.
-
Uses: Trying to make it as much of an old-Instagram replacement as possible.
Now it's your turn. What other platforms are you on, how are you using them, etc.
Lemmy: Presently using one account (this one). Have another as backup. Access on android using mostly Eternity and now since the latest update, Voyager because I'm loving scaled sort. Access on Windows PC using Voyager, alexandrite and lemmy ui in browser if I need to access account settings.
Mastodon: one account only, semi-anonymous. Access on android using Moshidon and on PC using Elk. Use the Mastodon ui only if I need to access account settings. I mostly use Mastodon for posting whatever I find interesting and occasionally browse by hashtags as per my mood.
Bookwyrm: one account, no app. Trying to make this a goodreads alternative for myself.
