I made a post about something that is related to this. https://feddit.de/post/1033788

These platforms (Lemmy, Mastodon [twitter], Pixelfed [instagram], Friendica [facebook], PeerTube [YouTube], Funkwhale [Spotify-ish], etc…)

This is the issue though. Pixelfed is not equal to Instagram, because Instagram is a platform while pixelfed is a software and once it’s being hosted on a server it becomes a new platform (every instance is it’s own platform). For things like pixelfed or mastodon which are one dimensional (I.e. users interacting with users) this is not much of an issue because federation opens up full access to the other platform.

For lemmy and similar concepts this does not entirely work though, because they are two dimensional, users and communities. This creates an internal relationship between the two dimensions that is not equal to the relationship users from other instances have with the communities on the local instance.

User accounts are also subjected to all the community rules an instance has chosen when (de)federation decisions are being made.

There is really no reason why users and communities should live on the same instance, but it creates confusion and inconvenience for many users.

The current version of the frontend is not doing that yet, though.

Please just use a matrix room.
