#question
-
Is it redundant to have both a #Mastodon and a #Friendica account? How about a third #Pixelfed account?
-
@ernestowg nope, each platform is different, I would recommend trying out every platform!
-
@dansup I don't mean choosing between platforms. I'm just not sure if I can use just one account on all platforms. Still learning about how this all works. -
@ernestowg I have at least one account for each federated service, I am the administrator of several instances of four different types: Mastodon, Friendica, Lemmy and Pixelfed, so I am certainly not a standard user. However, you can easily find yourself using multiple software. For example, as a user, I mainly use Mastodon because it is faster to use, but I could never do without Friendica because it offers me features that are also useful for managing my Mastodon account!
With this Friendica account, for example, I can reshare the posts of my main Mastodon account @informapirata, but I can also receive notifications when someone who has not mentioned me participates in a conversation in which I also participated.
at this link you can find a page in Italian but easily automatically translated, in which I explained Among other things why it can be useful to combine a Friendica account with a main account
