Could the different #fediverse services be branches of just one (distributed) repository?
Could the services become modules of a unified fediverse server?
Could that lead to a multi-service app in the future?
@vattuvarg no, they're all run by different groups of people with completely different codebases and barely any connection beyond ActivityPub.
@BeAware - I know, but there could be synergies.
@vattuvarg you can create this multiservice app because of ActivityPub (if I understood you)
@linchiao - Yes, I know. It's a marketting thing, really. If all the different #fediverse services use the same protocol then why have multiple apps installed?
@vattuvarg because they are visually different; for example, Pixelfed uses carousels
@linchiao - True, but that could be a setting in the app.
