Pretty pretty please, can someone start (or help me find learning resources to organize) manpages/docs/forums/feeds/wikis/whatever for a #fediverse #n00b / #newbie re: differing federated services - #mastodon #pixelfed #peertube #loops #lemmy etc?

Pretty pretty please, can someone start (or help me find learning resources to organize) manpages/docs/forums/feeds/wikis/whatever for a #fediverse #n00b / #newbie re: differing federated services - #mastodon #pixelfed #peertube #loops #lemmy etc? Example: do I need to join multiple instances? Can I cross-populate posts in my other feeds?
Pls where can I #rtfm or facilitate/volunteer for searchable Q&A-sharing forums??? #explaintomelikeiam5 #explaintomelikeim5 #tellmewheretogo #FediverseTips

@grayautumnday theres lots of good into at https://joinfediverse.wiki

@grayautumnday In a nutshell, having an account on any of these means you can follow accounts from all of these. The beauty of the fediverse is that all of these server communicate with each other. Want to create videos - Peertube. Want to create photo collections - PixelFed. You are already on Mastodon. If you just wish to follow, view, comment other peoples videos/photos, you are already to go now from Mastodon.

@obryanb @FediTips
thanks for the info!
My question, though, is actually if I can post PeerTube videos, Lemmy links, (maybe update public NodeBB threads) and add Pixelfed posts from a single ActivityPub enabled server (such as Mastodon.online), or if I'd need to make additional accounts on servers that support those post types... and if so, how do I integrate my different post types into a single feed?

@grayautumnday @obryanb

Short answer: you need additional accounts on each server type.

Long answer: Your account can post whatever your server is capable of. If your account is on a Mastodon server, it can post whatever Mastodon posts can do (so that's text with media attachments).

These posts can be seen and displayed by other servers in whatever way the server is capable of, regardless of the server type the posts come from.
