That's how I thought the Frediverse worked at first lol
It's how it SHOULD work.
Like if I comment on someones picture on pixelfed, and someone replies to my comment, the notification should go to my inbox.
Then, if I post a video on peertube, and 5 people leave comments, those comments should go in my inbox.
And if 30 people leave replies to my Lemmy comments, I should have 30 comments in my inbox.
And that inbox? It should be one inbox. One account. If I see the notification for pixelfed, and I click the context button, my browser should take me to that pixelfed post. Then, if I click back, to the inbox again, and click context for the peertube comments, it should take me to that video.
That's what I imagined when I first heard of the fediverse.
Have you ever tried Mbin? https://fedia.io/
It has both Lemmy and Mastodon on the same website, and all notifications arrive in the same inbox
From a privacy perspective it'd be annoying if the default weren't one-identity-per-website, though. That's how it ought to work. If the user then wants to instead use a single one (akin to how OAuth logins allow you to use a single identity for auth purposes) that's on them, but it should not work that way without explicit enabling.
You're already better on Mbin, with both Lemmy and Mastodon on the same site
