Here's one of the many beautiful things about Mastodon and the Fediverse:

I saw that @johnvoorhees opened a Pixelfed profile. That service is powered by federation too. So here's what I did:

- Took his profile URL: https://pixelfed.social/johnvoorhees
- Changed it to: @[email protected]
- Searched for the account, and followed him.

Now John's photo feed is another account, from a completely different service, that I follow on my Mastodon. I love this.

@johnvoorhees @viticci There’s definitely kinks to work out, but seeing some of this Fediverse stuff in action, knowing developers can just access all of it in the apps they want to build, and seeing how it all interoperates…it can make traditional social media feel like the dark ages!

Soon you’ll be following Tumblr and Wordpress blogs from wherever you want too! ActivityPub almost makes one excited about the future of the ‘net.
