Hi there! So I understand that federated systems can speak to one another and interact. My question I guess is should I be using my Mastodon account to log into PieFed, and PixelFed, and Bookwyrm? Or do I need to create specific accounts for all these services, just as I did before?

I understand that someone on Mastodon could potentially follow my PixelFed account and see my posts. But wouldn’t it make sense to have one single identity (if one wished) so it collected all of my stuff in one place? Just wondering if I am missing the point?

Sorry if I sound like an idiot here. I really love the idea of federated services, just want to make sure I am “doing it right” so to speak.

    I would recommand at least two accounts per fediverse type (type = microblog, threadiverse…)

    So you can have a backup account in case your instance is down. Because currently there is no sync of our subcriptions, follows.

    I hope we will have a kind of nomadic identity
    to solve this.

    Here is the idea for a sync app
