I find the idea of the fediverse fundamentally broken, if not plain wrong. It’s cool for decentraziled servers from the same service like Mastodon, but keep it there. Other services have different uses and interactions, I don’t want a lemmy thread suddenly showing on my mastodon timeline. I go to Mastodon for microblogging, and it would pisses me of to suddenly see giant posts from some WordPress instance, or thousands of photos from Pixelfed, or a tutorial in video form from Peertube that should be a paragraph on Mastoson.
If I want discussions, I go to lemmy. If I want long posts, I go to WordPress. For microblogging, Mastodon, and for Photos, Pixelfed. Mixing all up brings subpar experiences because the apps that deal with each service are focused, and interaction with anything outside this scope becames awful.

No, actually I love it. I like reading blog posts and even more now that I can collect them all in a little Mastodon group. Mastodon also has an active photographic community, so I don’t see why you wouldn’t want to see Pixelfed content.

If I weren't already so involved in Mastodon, I'd follow all my Fediverse interests from Friendica. It can follow Mastodon and Pixelfed with no problem, and it presents Kbin and Lemmy content in their proper format.

The current issue I have with Friendica is that it only displays one level of comments for Lemmy threads, is there any workaround to have other comments?

Is there a good general use instance? I swear I’ve looked and never seem to find any

Pixelfed and Mastodon have a comparable presentation. Lemmy is a bit different. The focus is different. It might be possible to display content from every fediverse implementation but it might be a less than ideal experience for many of them.
