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

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

Why would it confuse users unless you started linking things between services in unexpected ways?

I run a pile of different sites as subdomains of isurf.ca - hasn't been an issue yet.
