Here’s a thought: Different fediverse platforms are interoperable. For example, you can view mastodon accounts on Pixelfed and vice versa.

Which leads me to wonder why not have one fedi server that can post different types of content. Eg text/image/vertical video.

And then in the fedi client you can choose what type of content you want to see. Or what viewer mode you want to use?

That way you can follow a person once. And not have to follow their masto, Pixelfed, loops, wordpress(lol) etc.

I could pick what type a post is, video/gallery/text. It’d use the mastodon/pixelfed/loops/whatever standard for each post. And that would mean the client could render each in a different manner or display it elsewhere

As my main account is a mastodon one, if I follow a Pixelfed user, everything looks like a text post with attached images.

If I follow this acct on Pixelfed, it looks like a gallery.

Each is set up to use different accounts rather than one activitypub feed for all types of post

And then at this point rather than being a member of loads of socials and embedding them or linking to them etc. all my content is just one activitypub feed not matter the type of content.

That way the user can follow the person for all the content. Filter out a person’s different types of posts. Eg if you want my videos but not my text.

@mattgrayyes I believe there is currently some support for having the ability to log into a pixel fed with a mastodon account's oauth, which is something.

I really like the idea of one account, multiple feeds tho. given that there is some cross interaction already, and the growth of pixel fed into a new beast on the fediverse, I wouldn't be too surprised if we reach the multitudes point eventually, but it will likely take time to do so given the ap standards.
