Yeah, so the reason I ask is because I saw a thing even longer ago (I think from Feditips?) about how you can get for example #Lemmy posts in your Mastodon account, but if you go to Lemmy itself then you have a more appropriate front-end, where in this case you would have a better threading experience, etc., so I was wondering which of them also support this pixelfed feature.

Fedi.Tips 🎄 (feditips@mstdn.social)'s status on Friday, 24-Nov-2023 14:25:23 JST Fedi.Tips 🎄 It sounds like you're just talking about the general feature on the Fediverse where if you follow an account from another service, its posts will appear in your timeline?
You don't need to sign in on the other service for this to happen. You can follow other services' accounts from Mastodon just like you would follow any Mastodon account.

You can only receive your Mastodon content there if you also have an account there and then follow your Mastodon account from there.

Yeah, that was from this end, but then the article says that if you go to the other end you have the more appropiate UI for interacting with the content (in the case of Lemmy it's threading, in the case of peertube it'd be the various play controls, etc.), but also, I think(?) you can receive your Mastodon content there, in your feed there. -

Hey @phocks I think you're on pixelfed too? Have you tried this thing with using your Mastodon account to sign-in to pixelfed? -

P.S. I also get all the text in my Maston feed, but clicking on that gives me the link to click on for the original content. -

So for example, first screenshot is what I see boosted to my Mastodon feed from following a Kbin magazine, and in the post if I click on the link it takes me to the original post (but separate login needed, but pixelfed supports using your Mastodon account, once you have gone through the set-up for that). -

Just to repeat, this isn't really signing into Pixelfed with a Mastodon account. That isn't possible AFAIK.
This process is basically just creating a new Pixelfed account, but copying over some settings from your Mastodon account.
