As noted to follow users there and interact you can use the Mastodon account. I've wondered about having 'one' account across the servers but it doesn't really work just like the BirdSite isn't doing to well trying to be Youtube ;-)

This is one thing about the fediverse that sorta blows my mind. Each 'service' like Mastodon or Lemmy or PeerTube etc is focused on it's type of content and and features.

BUT b/c it's on ActivityPub everybody on all servers can follow and interact with accounts across the different types. The 'view' you'd see 'here' is a function of being on a Mastodon server. Think of a youtube channel but having the video gallery just viewed here as separate toots with videos.

It's a truly mind boggling level of connectedness, yet each has it's own features, strengths and future strengths ;-)

@pixelpusher220 @swalchemist @gracjan @christianselig Agreed. The thing that I’m personally still trying to wrap my mind around is when should I create an account on another service, vs just continuing to use my Mastodon account and interacting via ActivityPub. Net really sure the answer there.

@fishcharlie @swalchemist @gracjan @christianselig yeah I think the answer depends on what you want out of it.

For most casual consumption scenarios the existing account is fine. For *using* and creating content in that other service, you'd need to create an account

@pixelpusher220 @fishcharlie @gracjan @christianselig I'm fine with it having a different UI. But looking at join-lemmy.org/, I see no obvious way to get to the content. I tried copying and pasting a domain name on the Lemmy servers page, and then I could browse content and find usernames to paste back on my Mastodon server to follow them.
