Hi all, Still trying to get my head around the way different projects work together in the fediverse. I’m interested in setting a regional instance for peertube, pixelfed and mastodon. If my domain is example.com, I’m thinking of having peertube.example.com, pixelfed.example.com and mastodon.example.com
However, does that mean that a user will need to register separately for all 3? Or is there a way to have 1 account and use the same access for peertube, pixelfed and mastodon that are on the same domain (but different subdomains)
Thanks
You could setup external authentification such as LDAP which handles accounts for all services in a single place. But I dont know how hard it is to setup, and if all the projects you mention support it (Lemmy doesnt have it yet).
thanks. I had hoped there was a “plug and play” solution. I think I’ll keep it separate
Think about this carefully. Sure technically that is possible, but it is a lot of maintenance effort and will confuse users a lot, as accounts/websites are still functionally separate, yet also interact.
I personally think it is better to consider your target audience needs and focus on one type of service only.
thanks, good points
