When is it okay to have a second account on lichess?

Well, I think creating 2 accounts is tolerable but not more than too. One can be the main account where the player can play only games and the second could be like a BOT account, account for posting in forums etc. But not for following someone or increasing the members in a team.

Why not posting in the forums with your main account? I think posting in the forums is not a valid reason, because you can do that on your main account. But reasons like blindfold, berserk and BOT accounts can't be done on a main account because they (blindfold and berserk) will lose many rating points.

You may have alt accounts. Just make sure you explicitly say in your profile that it is an alt account (e.g. if I make a blindfold account I'd say "@FlamoToolz blindfold account"

Unless directed otherwise, evading a ban by making another account is against lichess TOS

Thank you for clarifying :)

with no offense bro, but you are making lichess look bad.

Did you literally told him to play on chesscom??

No I told if someone is banned and they know they did not do anything they can play on chess.com because they can't play on Lichess anymore (except against cheaters or people who violated the Terms of Service). I know Lichess is the best chess site.

thats what I refer

What's wrong with that?

I also have a similar question to #1:

Can you create an extra account if you can't log in into your original account? Like, just in case you forgot your password, you can use your "emergency", or "911" account, because I have one like that. If that is not okay, I will close that account.

You can reset your password if you forgot it.
