  Isn’t that what mbin is?

  I think Fedilab should do both:

  @VintageGenious Think about it this way: an email client can do both Gmail and Hotmail (and Fastmail etc.) because it’s all just email. The same goes for the Fediverse; it’s all just ActivityPub. For example this reply is from a Mastodon app :D

  I have personal frustrations about how popular servers like Mastodon and Lemmy hide ActivityPub. I feel progress is stifled. Enough that I wrote my own ActivityPub service (https://apubtest2.srcbeat.com/apas.html)

    And Thunderbird can do email/rss/newsletters and even Matrix…

      @rglullis RSS is so underrated I feel. Easy to understand, battle-tested, scales up easily, plethora of clients. Many uses of microblogging, especially in the “real world” use by places like governments, police departments, public transport services could be easily replaced by simple RSS/Atom feeds. Governments and TV stations don’t need to set up Mastodon instances since they never actually interact with people. It’s not “social” media to them; just another avenue of broadcast.

    Yes I knew about ActivityPub and was told everything works together but realized I hardly see anything from other Fediverse networks, and that interoperability is not implemented everywhere. So that’s why I am asking as I don’t see anything mastodon in my lemmy client (except for these comments)

  IMO, app developers in general are lacking imagination or ambition over ideas like this. I’ve even suggested it directly to a developer or a popular mastodon app, who was entertaining the idea of making a lemmy app … and they said they couldn’t see how it would work.

    @maegul @VintageGenious Agreed. But it's tricky. Few thoughts:

    1. ActivityPub itself is in a bit of a mess. Spec too large (spread out over many other specifications!), poor documentation, overly generic.

    2. Many devs just aren't that familiar with interoperability

    3. To encourage adoption, Mastodon and Lemmy clone existing services and behaviour

    4. The two most popular fediverse servers added ActivityPub late in the dev cycle

    Does Tusky display threaded content properly when browsing Lemmy?

    How can I browse mastodon from a lemmy client?
