Kinda neat :)

I like the concept here, but it doesn’t address the big gotcha that I found out when I setup my own lemmy instance is that you can’t federate to all the different instances that support activitypub. I can’t use my lemmy account to post on mastadon or loops.video or pixelfed, or etc. you still need separate accounts on each instance. Maybe someday they will all talk to each other but at the moment it is certainly mildly annoying.

The issue isn’t instances.
The issue is that Lemmy isn’t designed for interaction with single actors, e.g. Mastodon users or PeerTube channels. Lemmy can only interact with groups, and that’s by design because it’s a purist Reddit/Hacker News clone.
If you have one account someplace that isn’t Lemmy or Mbin (or something similarly specialised), you can connect to and interact with just about everything everywhere.

Thanks for the added details. I appreciate it and it helps clarify some things for me. Thanks.
