One of the interesting things I've seen on the fediverse:

blahaj.zone run both a #calckey and #lemmy instance under the same domain/community. (I learnt this by running into @[email protected] on lemmy, who is also @ada on calckey)

See:
https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/
https://blahaj.zone/

I don't know how effective it is in practice, but it sure seems like a great way to foster more diversity and richness in the fediverse experience, especially if some integrations can be built, like mutual ids.

@maegul @[email protected] @[email protected] It's worth nothing that the lemmy instance was not spun up to be effective, it was spun up because I wanted to try it out :)

And now it's a part of my daily routine and has a small but growing user base :)

@ada @fediversenews @[email protected] @maegul Are they completely separate or do they share a user database? I’m pretty sure Mastodon will let you use an existing external LDAP service as the authentication backend, but I know nothing much about Lemmy. That would be a cool way to solve some people’s gripes about multiple Fediverse IDs. Have a cluster of Pixelfed, Mastodon, Lemmy, Bookwyrm all sharing a user list. One account, lots of features.

@MetalSamurai @[email protected] @[email protected] @maegul They're separate. It's an interesting idea to tie them together to a central identity, but as a user rather than an admin, I'm not sure I'd be happy to use a feature like that unless identities were truly mobile.

What exactly do you mean by mobile here? Like, following any one of your accounts results in following all of your accounts? Something else?

@maegul @MetalSamurai @[email protected] @[email protected] I mean, independent of a particular instance. So you own it and can take it with you elsewhere, rather than it being tied to the instance/community you happen to be using.
