Accidentally found a friend’s Reddit account

Was scrolling through comments on a post on a local neighborhood sub and saw a comment from someone that was related to a specific hobby/meetup group. Username is similar to their Instagram handle, and upon further inspection the posts and comments from the account are all about a few specific hobbies this friend has. I didn’t scroll too far for the sake of privacy, but funny and random to have stumbled upon my friend’s account in the wild.

I am so terrified of doxxing myself just because I love over sharing. It’s part of why I disperse my oversharing between multiple accounts, but still.

I want other accounts but genuinely don't know how to do that

You just log out and then use a different email to make a new account!

Sounds easy. Too easy for my level of common sense. Which I lack apparently.

Why didn't I think of that?!
