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.

Deep fried customers?

Thought it sounded familiar. And after DuckDuckGoing it, it was indeed a bold comment and the search definitely paid off.

So grateful for this post. Never had so much junk come out on Lemmy. Never blocked so many words and people in one day either haha.

Not sure if good or bad comment. :-0

Strange that all the blocked words in the Lemmy keywords filter is still showing up here. Thought it would be taken out. Probably filters posts only. :-(

But now got a good list of words and users known to avoid in future. :-)

Thanks so much for taking the time to explain and for the information. So if understood correctly, you say a web browser woud be best? But then wouldn’t you still need to have an account on Lemmy / Kbin / Mastodon / Peertube / Pixelfed, as they don’t all talk to one another, and for those that do, they don’t necessarily talk both ways, such as Lemmy and Mastodon.

Been using the Fediverse for a few months now, and wow, surprised at how complex some things are to understand still.

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

We got it off of a PC Mag CD that came with the magazine, perhaps 1999/2000-ish.

Sorry, this wasn’t aimed at you personally, it was a response to what the person said regarding asking an honest question and feeling like they offended someone.

Apologies again, should’ve maybe mentioned that in the comments.

Sorry for the misunderstanding, no harm was meant. :-(

Peak yes.

This has happened a few times as well on this side. An honest question of trying to understand, and then get told that’s doing “sea lioning” which is something that was pointed out a day or two ago. Learn something new every day.

But it makes one sad if you do want to learn, to really understand better, without harm meant or judgement, and NOT every time, but most of the time, being called a (insert a sensitive topic here)-ophobe.

There are things that even wikipedia doesn’t explain properly, so one has to sometimes ask, especially if it’s really something you either don’t understand or get at all. Like on this side it’s literally not knowing any better, that got the trouble going, not harmful intent.

There are still questions about queer / femboy / trans that are a mystery, but makes one too scared of offending. And this is written with 100% sincerity. This is not a blaming game or finger pointing exercise.

And imagine it’s someone who actually is interested or still wanting to come out and asking sincere questions, if someone attacks you, it would put you off for life, nevermind being hurt by a group / race / idea that you aspire or look up to. :-(

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. :-)
