You don't need multiple accounts on each service to federate. So essentially if you wanted to communicate with a user, say from a Lemmy server on Mastodon you can do so. That's federation.
Essentially the main things you are missing really from not joining another service is certain features, interface and a different focus and the like.
Right? so Peertube might have a completely different interface from Mastodon and Lemmy. And more of a specific focus on video related features.
edit: you would need a users handle, and then go to the service you use, like Mastodon and you can search for that user.
Can I do it all from just a Lemmy account?
That's something people could try experimenting with. I will see if I can find out what can be done with Lemmy, regarding Peertube and Mastodon. But I would asume that not all features from Masodon or Peertube would translate smoothly to Lemmy strictly because it's a different software with a different focus.
Federation just means you can communicate with users from another server. Even if it's a different 'platform' like Lemmy to Misskey, Mastodon to Peertube.
