You only need one account on any instance and you can rate/comment on any video in the federated network. However there are instances that don't follow each other and for those you would need a separate account.
- IshKebab 6y agoSurely that's most instances? I don't see why the Blender instance would follow the Extinction Rebellion instance for example? And doesn't that make it an N^2 problem? Does every instance have to follow every other instance to make this work?
- 2Gkashmiri 6y agoActually, with v3, you can follow "any" peertube channel or account regardless of whether your instance does the same or not. Earlier this was only possible with a mastodon/pleroma account only. Now your peertube user account in instance "a" can follow any channel anywhere in the fediverse. This is like you want to follow some channel from tilvids.com but dont want to follow the entire instance.
- IshKebab 6y agoRight but you can surely follow channels just with RSS? Federation is only required for commenting and voting.
- 2Gkashmiri 6y agoyes. you only need an account in one "instance" and you can comment or aggregate videos from any participating instance and comment on the videos as if you had a local account there. Social function is a big deal of activitypub
