Thinking about the future where Microblogging and link-aggregation sites on the fediverse have grown, how do you see them integrating?

It’s a bit one-directional right now since I don’t think Lemmy has the concept of following people or #topics outside of Lemmy, but mastodon users can follow Lemmy communities and the posts and comments show up fairly nicely.

Do you think the ability to combine those two domains in one interface (even the same timeline) is useful at all?

I’m envisioning a content creator posting a video on peertube and being posted to one of the link-aggregator instances and people commenting on it via Mastodon and all of the comments being able to reference each other no matter where they were posted. I think that’s pretty amazing compared to what we have now where you’re conversation is basically stuck where it was started on the traditional services.

    Full and mutual interoperability just means everything develops toward the same feature sets, which probably isn’t what we want.

    Core features should always be interopable, of course, but we don’t want to box developers in.
