I thought one of the advantages of the Fediverse was to have one account but access to many services. Is this possible just not common? I already have a Lemmy account and Mastodon and I didn’t want to start making more just to try out the other services.
You must log in or register to comment.
Lemmy mostly federates with Lemmy, but everything else out there (PeerTube, PixelFed, etc) has been developed to work well with Mastodon (sometimes to the Fediverse’s detriment), so your Mastodon account should be all you need.
From other replies it sounds like this isn’t guaranteed. I tried logging into pixelfed using my Mastodon info and it didn’t work (stopped me as soon as I gave the instance).
i use mbin specifically so i can do both with one account. i can follow (and be followed) and post to mastodon as well as interact with all of lemmy.
lemmy doesnt allow following at all.
