I really couldn’t care less if I can follow a Lemmy community with my Mastodon account or comment on a PeerTube video with my Lemmy account.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s neat and a cool achievement of the ActivityPub protocol, but that’s like advertising that your awesome new solar-powered, self-driving, flying car also has power windows. I’m glad it’s there, but there are way better things to talk about, especially when trying to convince a newcomer to jump on board.
It just seems like cross-posting with more confusing terms for normal people.
What I’d really like is one single sign-on for everything that was federated to my original Fediverse service instance. I should be able to just go to some Pixelfed/Mastodon/Lemmy/etc instance, log in with @nottelling@lemmy.world and I’m just magically makes me a user there. (Assuming instance permissions and federation settings and such, of course.)
I get it, account management and implied trust is hard to do. But that’s what this feature should be.
That’s definitely easier to understand and smoother to use IMO
