Hello all!
I was looking at tchncs.de and all it federated services offerings. I was wondering if, having a lemmy account here, I could log in to Mastodon and Pixelfed.
When I tried just now, I couldn’t. Is there a way to do this and I was too dumb to figure it out, or I need an account for each service?
Thanks!

@pandaconurbano You will need an account for each service you want to use. You can still interact with an account on a service with other services.
I'm currently on mastodon writing a comment to your Lemmy instance, just like that.

Hummm, I see. Slightly disappointing but not unexpected, since I know nothing on how the fediverse and ActivityPub work xD

If you have an Account at a friendica instance, you could subscribe to lemmy communities, follow mastodon and diaspora users (and peertube etc.), and post and Comment on All of them.

Imagine being to follow a YouTube channel from your Twitter account, or reply to a Facebook group with your Reddit account.
That’s basically what the Fediverse is: not all of the platforms will be completely compatible, but the base compatibility will be there
