Is there a way to crosspost across accounts on the different platforms? For example, is there a way to link posts on my Lemmy and Pixefed accounts to my Mastodon account?

But doesn't that defeat the point of federation?

Confused about Federation (lemmy.ca)
 

Hey everyone. I am new to the "Fediverse" and I am confused about how Lemmy connects with PixelFed.

As I understand it, you should be able to interact with all the Fediverse platforms from just one platform, but I can't seem to figure out how to see stuff from Mastodon or Pixelfed here on Lemmy.

Similarly, I don't quite understand how to see stuff from Lemmy on Pixelfed. I created a Pixelfed account and tried searching for my Lemmy account over there and managed to find it, but I don't know how to log in to it or make changes to it.

Could someone explain this to me? I am very confused!
