Pretty pretty please, can someone start (or help me find learning resources to organize) manpages/docs/forums/feeds/wikis/whatever for a #fediverse #n00b / #newbie re: differing federated services - #mastodon #pixelfed #peertube #loops #lemmy etc? Example: do I need to join multiple instances? Can I cross-populate posts in my other feeds?
Pls where can I #rtfm or facilitate/volunteer for searchable Q&A-sharing forums??? #explaintomelikeiam5 #explaintomelikeim5 #tellmewheretogo #FediverseTips

You don't need to crosspost because all those platforms are on the same social network. Poeple on Mastodon can follow accounts from Pixelfed etc, they don't need to see the posts repeated elsewhere.
You probably don't need to join multiple instances:

One more question: Any idea where to look for mastodon #iOS app advanced search operators? Search results have not only not been few but also not relevant.
Especially #grateful to the fellow fediverse folk who #tag posts and #caption images - every small improvement in #accessibility & #usability creates fertile ground for normalizing #searchability !

You can optionally make your public posts searchable by their entire text content (not just hashtags) if you opt into full text search: https://fedi.tips/how-do-i-opt-into-or-out-of-full-text-search-on-mastodon/

My question, though, is actually if I can post PeerTube videos, Lemmy links, (maybe update public NodeBB threads) and add Pixelfed posts from a single ActivityPub enabled server (such as Mastodon.online), or if I'd need to make additional accounts on servers that support those post types... and if so, how do I integrate my different post types into a single feed?

Long answer: Your account can post whatever your server is capable of. If your account is on a Mastodon server, it can post whatever Mastodon posts can do (so that's text with media attachments).
These posts can be seen and displayed by other servers in whatever way the server is capable of, regardless of the server type the posts come from.
