Most people do NOT need multiple accounts to use the Fediverse. The servers talk to each other, so even if an account is on a different server you will be able to interact with it seamlessly. (For example you are able to read this post even though I'm on a different server to you!)
However, there are certain niche situations where multiple accounts can be useful. More info in this guide at:

If you do use multiple accounts, have them on different servers!

But you can interact with accounts on other instances (including PeerTube instances) from your own instance. For example if you click on the PeerTube account @thelinuxexperiment it should show up on your server like any other profile. Its videos show up like posts.
You only need to log in on a PeerTube instance if you want to upload a video.

in reply to Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. • •@Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. With a mastodon account you can already open new threads on Lemmy: informapirata.it/2024/01/02/ma…
In fact, Lemmy communities are nothing more than Activitypub groups, just like Friendica groups and gup.pe groups.
Unfortunately, mastodon does not help manage an adequate display of Activitypub groups, but there are apps like RaccoonForFriendica that allow you to display groups correctly, displaying only the topics, even if you use it with a Mastodon account.

As for PeerTube, the story is a little different, because Peertube channels are actually Activity pub groups, but at the moment you can publish videos on those channels only if you are the owner of the channel and therefore only if you are a PeerTube user. But if the developers decided to do it, you could publish on a Peertube channel, simply by sending a video from a Mastodon account. If they haven't done it, it's only because it would be something quite useless...😁
