A lot of the accounts you follow and interact with on here are not Mastodon accounts!
For example, @theatticdwellers is a PeerTube account, @Iancylkowski is a Pixelfed account, @rstv is an OwnCast account.
There are dozens of different server types on here, not just Mastodon servers. When you talk about this place, it's not enough to call it "Mastodon", because it's more than just that.
That's why people call this place "The Fediverse", because that name covers all server types.

Als Antwort auf FediTips has moved! • • •so how does it work for something like publishing stories? If you used a fedi like writefreely.org
Could people from mastodon fallow you and get updates when you post?

Als Antwort auf Ajax B. Coriander • • •You can follow Write Freely accounts, and when a new post is added it will appear in your Home timeline. For example @writefreely is the Write Freely project's own blog and is a Write Freely account.
A more flexible and powerful option is to use a WordPress blog. There is an official plugin made by @pfefferle and WordPress that allows independently hosted WordPress blogs to be followed from the Fediverse:

It's designed to be seamless so that you don't notice if posts are from other server types, but there is a way of checking!
If you go to a post's original page, it will open it on the account's own server's website. The server's type will be obvious from the website's layout, logos etc.
Here's how to open original pages:

You can try this on the accounts I linked to in the first post of this thread, they will all open on non-Mastodon server websites.

Yes, Friendica also shows the poster's original server type with a little logo.

Pixelfed has @vernissage for iPhone/iPad and @PixelDroid for Android (though PixelDroid isn't on Google Play). It also has official apps in public testing. More info at pixelfed.org/mobile-apps

Als Antwort auf runarcn • • •@runarcn There's more to the #fediverse and the #federation than "just" activitypub.
And in so far, no its not "fediverse+mastodon" ... mastodon is just another part within the broader federation.
That's why i'm using friendica... Form here i can connect to DFRN, Diaspora* and AcitvitiPub ;)

They're there if people want to follow 😀
By the way, just to clarify my original post, it's not just audio and video, there are text-centric platforms like Friendica and Calckey on the Fedi too. Friendica was on the Fediverse before Mastodon.

It sounds like your server hasn't noticed that account before.
If you (or someone on your server) follows the account, you will start seeing posts made after that moment.
Blank profiles are due to a lack of backfilling on Mastodon, more info here:

Do you mean you can see the photos but clicking on them doesn't work?
Or that you can't see any posts from Mastodon?

No, you can't run a server of one type as another type.
But people on different types of servers can follow each other and interact with each other seamlessly. See my latest post:

Als Antwort auf Franz • •@Franz It doesn't bring any advantages for interaction, but if you want more features and better view in terms of photos, then an additional #Pixelfed account would make sense, because Pixelfed is specialised on pictures.
Take a look at this article (in German)

Als Antwort auf Franz • • •@Franz Different fediverse service mostly go about the primary publishing format. So for example, you can only post 4 images per toot on mastodon as far as i know. While pixelfed has no such restriction. On peertube otoh, you usually have a video as primary content. While mastodon is primary microblogging, just allowing you to add some few images.
So, in terms of interaction with any of such posts, it makes no difference which service you use for that.
But for publishing materials, it could make sense to go for a account on a dedicated service for your format.
On top of that, different services show different views of posts... I personally never liked this twitter/mastodon format from the get go so i would never consider using it for my primary account.
Hope that helps? ;)

Beans, beans, that magical fruit
