Why is Pixelfed an extra network and not just a Mastodon client? (leminal.space)

Hey group,

Why is there not a Mastodon client to only utilize the media grid and pack it into an Instagram layout?

When I was exploring Bluesky and its clients a while ago, I actually liked the approach of having one central protocol and then having clients strip different masks over it. The Flashes app, for example, packed the media posts from your regular Microblog-profile into a Instagram-layout, while still keeping all your regular followings.

The federation between Pixelfed instances and Masto instances doesn't seem to be 100% working to my eyes. Likewise, when I look at my Pixelfed account via Masto client, it doesnt show me the pictures in the media grid.

I know this touches the very core of ActivityPub federation, but during the last years I couldn't figure out why fedi-networks never interacted completely.

Please correct me if I got something wrong or you know about obvious alternatives that I haven't stumbled upon yet.

Cheers! Enjoy the sun today!

Oi! Vou falar com outros devs brasileiros amanhã sobre criar um implementação genérica do protocolo, com diferentes módulos para cada API (Mastodon, Lemmy, etc) https://mastodon.social/@kariboka/116032991048115380

Gostaria de te convidar pra dar ideias ou participar o quanto você puder/quiser

Cara, eu já estou com com uns 70% da API do Lemmy implementada, e passei esse fim de semana todo trabalhando numa entensão pro browser que "puxa" o grafo social localmente e mostra os dados, como se fosse um browser. Quero ver se consigo fazer posts via C2S antes de ir dormir. :)

Tudo isso pra dizer: sim, eu tenho muito pitaco pra dar nessa história...
