@dansup question?

Does one need to find a separate instance for each of these #cms #apps ??

@Vivaldi possible to incorporate these add-ons to streamline efficiency and limit redundancy or is that being solved by encouraging all to host #blog with you?

#IRL does everyone need their own #Mastodon instance + #loops + #pixelFed to unlock the door to #freedom ?

While I know that work is being done on linking user databases in such a way that a single instance can offer multiple interfaces for the same account, generally speaking, you have to have accounts on multiple servers to use multiple services.

Flipping that around however, having multiple accounts like that is a common and accepted practice on here, and it's easy to link them together in your bio. Being able to easily split your presence between multiple accounts for multiple kinds of content feeds is one of the nice features of the Fediverse. So there's no issue with just making accounts on two different servers.

@Raccoon @dansup @Vivaldi

the other interesting tidbit is the promise of decentralization. So many #silos of different stripes. One being #thought

Many #greenEnergy evangelists ought understand the complexities of #hosting and the #draw on #resources

Is there a way for #iiif to be the #beacon for all rather than trying to get a bunch of #egoProjects to work well together and put them in users hands?

Could I please pick you brain to see if I understand this right:

Creating loops requires an account on the/a loops server. Okay, I guess the app has some special video edit features and somewhere it needs to be published. And maybe I even want this as a separate stream.

But how about consuming? Is one activitypub account enough to consume and interact (text, share) with mastodon, pixelfed, loops?

Would the content then only exist on the source server and I access it like a web page? Or would the content get sent to my instance? With mastodon content, I understand the content gets sent to the instance where I have the account. So I could access it, even if the originating server goes down.

So far, the way it has worked is that every AP implementation's content works on other implementations, because AP supports media. The exception is Lemmy, because Topic Threads are not in the AP standard, but that's partially an issue of what other software hasn't implemented.

I would guess that Loops, if implemented correctly, will be viewable from most other softwares, and I'm assuming they will test with Mastodon.

I'm afraid I can only speculate. Developers, gitGurus, anyone want to speak facts to these questions?

@cmthiede @dansup @Vivaldi you want to know if it would be possible to use all ActivityPub software under one account?

I think, to a degree.

Rather than having to reiterate the existence of user A, as in, userA has userA@mastodon account, a userA@loops account and a userA@pixelfed account. They're all interoperable in a way but not like a nested parent/child dynamic. Much like domains.

userA.pixelfed.loops@mastodon_instance

One would be control, depending on main use, but all would be accessible unto the parent without outward reach.

The more I try to detail, the more I think it isn't all that important. Since, I imagine, most would choose the style of content sharing they want to be the biggest part of: microBlog, shorts or pics and remain within those environments.

For me it's more about resources, not weighing down Mastodon with pics and vids, but also not having to create separate sm accounts just to do it.

Which, is probably a job for a good cms. I'll probably start playing with that angle I guess.
