I’d like to use both, with preferably the same account, but mainly the same android app
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:
-
ActivityPub itself is in a bit of a mess. Spec too large (spread out over many other specifications!), poor documentation, overly generic.
-
Many devs just aren’t that familiar with interoperability
-
To encourage adoption, Mastodon and Lemmy cloned existing services and behaviour
-
Those two fediverse systems added ActivityPub late in their development
