I’m only starting to realize now that the Fediverse kinda follows the unix philosophy of purpose-built interconnectable pieces interfacing with each other. It’s much better than the alternative of just slapping everything into one cumbersome pile.
I’m not very well versed in the Fediverse so this may be wrong.
No, you’re right. Theoretically, you could even have a single login for multiple Fediverse sites (Mastodon, Lemmy, PeerTube, etc.).
Technically speaking, I believe you could even comment on this thread via Mastodon if you wanted to since both Lemmy and Mastodon use something called the ActivityPub protocol. But the reverse isn’t true since Lemmy isn’t configured correctly to view Mastodon content.
