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 don't need multiple accounts on each service to federate. So essentially if you wanted to communicate with a user, say from a Lemmy server on Mastodon you can do so. That's federation.

Essentially the main things you are missing really from not joining another service is certain features, interface and a different focus and the like.

Right? so Peertube might have a completely different interface from Mastodon and Lemmy. And more of a specific focus on video related features.

edit: you would need a users handle, and then go to the service you use, like Mastodon and you can search for that user.

Can I do it all from just a Lemmy account?
