So, i was wondering if anyone know a mobile app that can communucate with other fediverse social other than Lemmy, right now i just found apps that let you search only lemmy instances but i would like to search cobtent from other places too! Like pixelfed etc etc with a single account (isn’t that the point of the fediverse?). I know that by using my instance website i can do it but i’d like to have an app.

    Absolutely not. I’m not sure why people see Lemmy, Mastodon, Pixelfed, Peertube, Loops, etc as all the same thing that should all be one app.

    They might communicate with the same protocol, but they have vastly different uses, interfaces, styles, and experience. It’s like saying you want one vehicle that drives like a motorcycle, haules the kids around, gets great mileage, and can tow 20,000lbs.

    All your tools fit in the same toolbox, but you use each one separately for the use it’s best suited. Then you put it down and pick up another. Sure you can make a multi-tool but it won’t do any job as well as a proper dedicated tool. It’ll just kinda work if you have no better option.

      Okay, but this don’t really answer the question and honestly it works okay just to look at pixelfed content or other things yk

        It’s not supposed to answer the question. It’s pointing out that the mental model and assumptions behind the question are flawed, and thus the question itself is flawed.
