    It would be great if someone created a fediverse browser native app. Log into all the platforms and add a translation layer to create a truly unique experience. Maybe it would only make sense if you could authenticate one account on all the activitypub platforms? I understand the amount of technical hurdles and maintenance to do so. I suppose I find the thought of experiencing them combined intriguing. If someone created A single app experience, in a intuitive way, I’d definitely give it a try. I can see lemmy posts on mastidon. Would be kind of cool if it could handle that and display those posts using a lemmy ui. But making it seamless.

      The thing is, when an app does only 1 thing, it’s easy to make sure it does that thing well. It’s going to be a lot of work to support so many different API’s, keep them updated, and provide a good UI/UX.

        Yeah. Take the state of game emulation for example. Yes, Retroarch DOES have like 500 emulator “”“cores”“”, all of which can be configured from a single general purpose UI and using a single input layer.

        But holy shit does hat UI and input configuration SUCK DONKEY BALLS.

        My Anbernic is very happy running 80% of its consoles though it. But I do wish there was something better looking when I have the actual emulation layer running.
