The Britannica entry for the Fediverse is really good (www.britannica.com)

ehh.. just tested and it doesn't seem to work.. somehow i remembered it working but maybe i was mistaken

sorry for the misinformation

Yeah, I keep trying the different things. We're really not using the fediverse for all it's capable of.

We can generally see all the users on all the federated systems, but none of their old content, a limited number of systems can follow other systems and see new stuff.

I'd really like to see being able to log into pixelfed.social as rumba@lemmy.zip, post images there (and in loops.video) and reference them in my mastodon and lemmy posts.

All the interoperability is threadbare.

This kind of stuff is the coolest thing about the fediverse and ActivityPub to me.

All the things you mentioned are possible in theory but the tools and infrastructure to do it haven't been created.

Yeah, It's got some great bones. Would have been good if everyone had some interop best standards or even a skeleton framework, but i don't want my money back :)
