I got a private mail from a clever little individual, it says
Fediverse is really a federated network on which some
services are built, like Mastodon (which has replacement
implementations like pixelfed, pleroma or honk).
There is peertube as a youtube equivalent, I know there is
also an alternative to that proprietary network
with pictures.
It's possible to exchange information between the services
with various results. From my experience, a peertube video
release can be published on mastodon from peertube, comments
done on the video will appear as a thread in mastodon.
You can follow a peertube account using mastodon.
I have no idea if the opposite is true, i.e.
following a mastodon account using a peertube account, that
doesn't make sense I think.
No, I don't think it does! :)
