@RegularRaptor I think Baldur Bjarnason asked a while back whether he should put his photography and his AI criticism in separate profiles, and I think the answer was to keep them in one.

Generally it seems like here people follow people and not topics. I know on YouTube it's the other way round, put too many different videos on the same profile and the algorithm punishes you. Luckily here there is no algorithm to do that.

I do fairly often see alternative accounts spun up for public/private or sfw/nsfw. Or accounts for different instances (for the different communities I guess?).

So I think for your use-case keeping the gamedev stuff in the same account might help? You can perhaps use hashtags for filtering to make it easier to find the educational stuff among the shitposts. Or I've seen users make long threads for this reason (e.g. Jonny's Claude Code roast)
