Hey, I am currently trying to understand a bit better what the Activity Pub allows and what it doesn't as I am preparing a presentation on that topic.

On Lemmy I can join other servers without having to recreate an account. Does that also work for across Activity Pub supporting software? Could I join a PeerTube page and then post there? Could I upload videos? Could I join Mastodon or Pixelfed and post images?

On piefed you can join :

On mbin, you can join :

  • peertube channel
  • mastodon account
  • pixelfed (probably supported but i don't know well mbin)

Lemmy

  • peertube : i got bad result with peertube but maybe over time they solved it, i haven't retested it. It was possible but you had to manually retrieve the video
  • mastodon : not supported.

People from mastodon, pixelfed...can post on lemmy, mbin, piefed. They need to mention the forumverse community. Eg :
@forumlibre@jlai.lu

I often recommand this formatting on mastodon :

The first paragraph will be the title

And i chose the community where i would like to post, eg : @forumlibre@jlai.lu

The second paragraph will be the body text

#someHashtag

Another note : markdown may not be supported accross fediverse software. For example : https://piefed.social/post/1004603

Peertube on Lemmy was AFAIK recently fixed.

Great, i'm testing it. Well there is some federation issue. Some of these works. It's hard to give a good diagnostic.
