So far I use: Matrix, Friendica, Lemmy, PieFed. I also follow 1 or 2 persons on Mastodon, using Friendica.
I want to try vutuv now. Maybe in the future some more services.
Now I wonder if I should really register a new account for each service. May I ask for your advice? What do you recommend?
You must log in or register to comment.
No offense, but sounds like you’re trading one social media addiction for another. If you’re just checking them out, why even make an account? I thought the whole point of the fediverse was to use an account and go across services? I’ve seen piefed stuff on Lemmy and iirc, mastadon too.
Not all the different services talk to each other in a way that you can use just 1 account for the entire fediverse. Lemmy, Piefed and Mastodon can all cross communicate (tho afaik Mastodon is one way only-you can post to Lemmy from Mastodon, but not Lemmy to Mastodon); but none of them communicate with Matrix. So you need at least 2 accounts if you wanted to use all of these services.
Thanks. Good to know.
Different services have different functions, even within microblogging and different apps support different sites, don’t think any support all services on activityhub at once.
Now I wonder if I should really register a new account for each service. May I ask for your advice? What do you recommend?
Do you get any benefits from the accounts? You can subscribe to Lemmy communities from Piefed and vice versa. Piefed can now follow Mastodon users iirc. So do you get any benefits from having accounts on both Lemmy and Piefed separately? Are there other benefits to a Friendica account for you than following Mastodon accounts?
That’s the important question really. If they don’t have anything to offer to you that the others already provide, then you don’t need that account.
I think mastodon is best used on apps made for it, does piefed work on icecube or any other iphone app?
Friendica is nice, I like using it to follow all lemmy communities id subscribe to, I like how posts and comments show up in the feed, plus you can be snoopy and see who dislikes what
