I too would like this. I think presently at best you would have to self-host all respective services on your own domain and setup SSO with single IdP for your custom domain. I doubt, though that all fediverse platforms actually support SSO though. And even so you still technically have an account on each platform with SSO.

Firefish does, I think, but not as well as Lemmy or Kbin. However, it’s somewhat client-dependent on other platforms. While Mastodon official clients (web and mobile) don’t have it Fedilab connected to the same Mastodon servers does.

I put links to related communities in the side bar on all the communities I mod.

Yeah that’s what I figured. I went a read the original blog post and when that said it even copies all your follows it was pretty clear it’s not using a single unified account.

I think it’s worked well for what it aims to be. I’ve mostly used the official app (Android) but also tried out Fedilabs. My main complaint isn’t really for the Pixelfed, but rather in Fediverse itself needing me to have a different account on each platform, rather than a Fediverse account I can use from all platforms. I know I can technically do a SAML login to Pixelfed with my Mastodon account, haven’t tried it yet, but I assume it wouldn’t work like truly using a common account. Like I imagine posts on Pixelfed aren’t there linked as posts my Mastodon profile.

I believe present best workaround is to set your home feed to show Subscribed.

Decentralized online market is just going to the manufacturer/vendor website and buying it from them directly.

Oh you meant on Reddit. I was talking about here on Lemmy we don’t have anything like that.

I had also read that editing a comment increases the comment count on a post.

I mod a few communities and haven’t seen anything relating to comments pending mod approval. The only related setting I have on the communities is to restrict posting to moderators (comments on the posts should still be open to anyone).

Well, I know there are Mastodon servers that allow more than 500. Guess they did have to modify the code or run a fork though.

Looking forward trying Artemis once the API has been merged back to the main repo and enabled on kbin.social

So probably lemm.ee and lemmy.sdf.org over the other two, then.

How are you defining “good” here? Off the top of my head I would say

• lemm.ee
• lemmy.sdf.org
• lemmy.one
• sh.itjust.works

fail to see the difference. It’s people posting and people replying just like here. Or do I need to actually sign up to see the differences?

Some of the differences are justthings an instance an admin can change on Mastodon, such as

• Post character limit is 4,000
• Search results include post contents

But there are things that would require a Mastodon admin to to fork and modify, too

• Quote boosting is supported
• You can format your post with markup
• Emoji reactions instead of only ‘like’
• Antennas are a more dynamic way to group posts than just following hashtags. You can specify keywords to match from the post body (both include and exclude), specific users, specific servers, include or exclude reply posts

It’s ultimately just another front-end to ActivityPub and the Fediverse. Use whichever one suits your preferences as they can see and follow each other regardless.

I appear to be seeing the perpetual “Processing” when trying to follow a community.

Also if you’re on Firefish.social yourself, are you able to follow Lemmy communities?

I haven’t tried, will give it a shot tonight.

Ok, I found this post from an admin

So only admins can give them out it seems.

I’ve just tested and my Firefish account works in Fedilab.

What the what? I’ll have to try it out. They don’t list Firefish as a supported platform!

Maybe it’s API compatible with Mastodon? There’s an open issue for some functionality not working, but it’s in French

Side note on Fedilab, do you find it battery-heavy? Do you have the push distributor thing setup for it?
