@pixelfed, btw, I tried to login into pixelfed with my “mastodon . social” account and I wasn’t able, is that expected?

@anders🙄😢one more account :( i thought that was the point in the fediverse to have it once for every instance, @pixelfed

@neekeeteen
On the server to server side, yes. But the client side isn't always compatible across implementations - quite rarely actually. So what you can do is that you can comment Pixelfed posts from your Mastodon account but you can't log in to your Mastodon account using the Pixelfed app.

Some apps work as I said across implementations. I can for example use Fedilab which is a Mastodon app even though I'm using Friendica because the Friendica developers made it compatible with the Mastodon client API.
