Holy shit…I haven’t tried it yet, but this sounds like one of the first ideas I pitched when I got here. One account, multiple platforms!
How do I do this? Can I do it with this account?
That’s how I thought the Frediverse worked at first lol
It’s how it SHOULD work.
Like if I comment on someones picture on pixelfed, and someone replies to my comment, the notification should go to my inbox.
Then, if I post a video on peertube, and 5 people leave comments, those comments should go in my inbox.
And if 30 people leave replies to my Lemmy comments, I should have 30 comments in my inbox.
And that inbox? It should be one inbox. One account. If I see the notification for pixelfed, and I click the context button, my browser should take me to that pixelfed post. Then, if I click back, to the inbox again, and click context for the peertube comments, it should take me to that video.
That’s what I imagined when I first heard of the fediverse.
Have you ever tried Mbin? https://fedia.io/
It has both Lemmy and Mastodon on the same website, and all notifications arrive in the same inbox
From a privacy perspective it’d be annoying if the default weren’t one-identity-per-website, though. That’s how it ought to work. If the user then wants to instead use a single one (akin to how OAuth logins allow you to use a single identity for auth purposes) that’s on them, but it should not work that way without explicit enabling.
You’re already better on Mbin, with both Lemmy and Mastodon on the same site
Glad you like it.
About testing it, not sure, hopefully someone more knowledgeable about it will jump in
, literally the original title text. Truly the year of the password managerYeah I was going to say, is there a tool for keeping multiple of these pods around so I can use different identities for (some) different sites?
Wait, this sounds awesome! I haven’t had time to dig into it more yet but does this mean I could host my own “pod” allowing my data to stay where I want it and be backed up how I want, while allowing my fediverse identity to be used on multiple different federated services?
Correct. You have access controls to your POD thus the data within it. As long as there’s an app built for a platform compatible with the protocols ActivityPods is compatible with, which are currently ActivityPub and Solid protocols it will work. It’s not just microblogging and not only compatible with Mastodon. So you can host your POD which would be best or even use a provider which you still have access controls. It’s like renting a locker or storage pod
For a second I thought the ActivityPub specification got updated.
Sounds a lot like the AT Protocol.
When this works with lemmy fuck yeah!! This is what the fediverse as a whole needs across all accounts. I do worry about the privacy implications tho.
