Actually created an account on there a few days ago, so will try that, but wasn’t able to find a beehaw post when testing earlier…

What I would like most is if I can create one ActivityPub account and use it on every ActivityPub service. This for me would be a perfect solution, because then I could use any app using a single account.

This is exactly it, this is what it sounded like when doing research about the Fediverse online. So perhaps that is the thing, but one user said that they can connect to all of them from Friendica. That’s the thing, it’s just to follow them, not create new PF or PT or Kbin posts from say Mastodon or Friendica. Posts can be done on one’s chosen instance, but the following would be so much more streamlined if it could be done from one place. :-) :-)

That’s strange, as having tried Kbin, Mastodon, IceShrimp, etc. and a lot of times want to comment on other instances, like Beehaw an hour or so ago. And only Friendica was able to see it and interact.

HOPING TO EXPLAIN BETTER:

Sorry. Perhaps the thoughts were not clear, but have watched a lot of videos and even Wikipedia makes it seem like they are all social networks and that one can follow / post / reply on the other networks:

It isn’t about following everything and everyone, but about not wanting to have a Pixelfed account to follow a photographer, or not needing a Lemmy account to follow interesting topics, or not needing a Mastodon account to follow a blogger / writer. It is perhaps then a bit oversimplified on the “intro to the fediverse” videos / posts that’s been seen on the web. Was hoping to have one single account on any of the above, and then just interact from there, and not needing an account for every single one of them.

Thanks for explaining! Trying it now on their test instance and it is super slow. Looks great, but can’t see text when typing, won’t post. :-(

Probably very early days. (On iOS using safari)

Please forgive if this sounds ignorant, but is this a tool to install on servers to create your own version of a federated app, like Lemmy / Mastodon / Pixelfed?

Or is this completely new, other social network, like a standalone social network of itself, like a Lemmy / a Mastodon / a Peertube?

Still trying to grasp the fediverse concepts.

Thanks everyone, the name literally sounds like a support community, really stupid naming convention then. Can’t be the first person that thinks it’s a support site?

Will delete it now. Thanks again.

No problem, the more you know, the better. ;-)

Thanks for this, as mentioned in the other comment, did a long search online for a fedilab iOS alternative, but it just kept suggesting mastodon apps. Perhaps Kbin is the best middle ground for now, as it’s mostly for mastodon and lemmy, but would like to also follow and interact with peertube and pixelfed.

Thanks for this! Had a hard look online and couldn’t find an iOS alternative. Everything kept pointing back to the ice cubes or mastodon apps that allow for multiple accounts. But what is needed is to be able to interact with the majority of the platforms, but also be able to filter. But thanks for the heads up anyways. :-)

Thanks for this, can’t seem to find the comment in the post, but wanted to reply anyways. It looks more like software for use on a server, correct? So it’s not like an app or site with details to use from there?

Sounds less like a positive move and more like a run from problems.

You will find the same problems in the next region, if you live there long enough.

Speaking from someone who has been in 13 schools and moved even more than that.

1. Also a Tildes.net user.
2. Where would Beehaw go to?
3. Sad that we’re blocked for no reason. :-/
4. If the Fediverse can’t keep instances connected and aligned, then there’s not much hope for when Meta’s Threads joins. It will be defederation deluxe.
5. Maybe that’s their whole plan. ;-)
