You know, what would be great? If you could build a list of accounts here on #Mastodon and one on #Bluesky and have an app merging their posts in one timeline.

Oh and when you're at it, add #Threads.

@mho
i think @openvibe is going for that. It just has the limitation of just one account per network type.
Also it would be great for people that are not convinced yet if it connected to more centralised networks

@mho I’d be happy if I could just do the first part: Build a public list on Mastodon.

@mho This is what Reeder (and Tapestry, I believe) does on iOS and macOS, except for the Threads part (but that's likely because Facebook are shit at APIs for third parties).

I use OpenVibe. It will list all cross posts neatly so I can unfollow them here. No more double posts.

@mho I think Tapestry (from the iconfactory) might be able to do that: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6448078074

@Martin Holland Ditch Mastodon.

Move to Friendica.

Refollow everyone on Friendica whom you follow on Mastodon.

Integrate your Bluesky account directly into Friendica. Your Bluesky contacts will become Friendica contacts. No Bridgy Fed bridge needed.

Then you have one unified ~~timeline~~ stream with Friendica and Mastodon and the whole rest of the Fediverse and Bluesky. And diaspora*. And Tumblr (yes, right now already). And Libertree. Etc.

Better yet: You can send one and the same post to the Fediverse and to Bluesky and to diaspora* etc. all at once and receive comments from all these places under the same post.

Even better yet: A Friendica post can be as long as 400 Mastodon toots. And it can contain just about every kind of text formatting that's possible with HTML, up to and including a virtually unlimited number of images embedded in-line (instead of a maximum of four images always only dangling under the post as file attachments). And it can have a title.

Only two caveats: You'll probably need an account on a Friendica node in the USA to be able to federate with Threads. Even then you're at Meta's mercy because it's up to them whether that node is allowed to connect to Threads or not, and Friendica nodes are very likely to not be allowed to connect because Friendica's culture may collide with Threads' federation requirements.

Also, Friendica can't do polls.

Almost. It recognizes lists from Bluesky, but not from Mastodon.

@jupiter_rowland

Well, this does sound good, I give you that. But I don't want to ditch #Mastodon – or #Sharkey or #Pixelfed for that matter. Maybe it's time for the next account in the #Fediverse?

Is there a way to make #Friendice look better?

@mho @jupiter_rowland yes there is: gitlab.com/randompenguin/bookface

This is already default theme on some instances e.g. friendica.world or joinfriendica.de

Hopefully bookface will soon come with every friendica installation (not default yet, but available to all users).
