One of the reasons I’m excited about #Fediprofile (aka https://hub.vocalcat.com) is identity portability.

Right now, people follow accounts. If I move servers, change handles, or create a separate profile for a different context, I risk losing that connection.

With Fediprofile, you follow my profile hub instead of a single account. (My fediprofile boosts all my accounts notes/create activities).

That means:

1. If I move my Mastodon/Pixelfed/etc. account to another server ... I just update my Fediprofile.

2.. If I add Pixelfed, Loops, or another ActivityPub account ... I link it.

I can even create separate profiles (professional me, playful me, project-specific me) ... I can structure that intentionally.

People keep following me, not a specific server address.

And if you combine this with self-hosting on your own domain, you get something even more powerful: one stable ActivityPub actor representing the parts of you that you choose to combine.

FediProfile — The Decentralized Link-in-Bio

Your links, badges, and identity — powered by the Fediverse. The open-source, federated alternative to Linktree.

@mapache

Thinking about it...
If i start to follow your #fediprofile maybe i'm already following your mastodon, or pixelfed and I just want to be sure to follow also your loops or bookwyrm.

That will end up receiving duplicates.

Maybe following a #fediprofile should be translated into the action of following all the individuals account listed there.
No boost

@luca this is true, good thinking.

However the follow seems more complicated to implement.
