I know, I was just replying to the part I was quoting. Point is, hosting that web client wouldn’t be an issue.

But where would a unified Web client run in the first place? It would have to be installed on a Web server and, from there, access the Web servers of the various different server apps which would still be entirely different and independent installations.
There are already web clients for the fediverse, like Photon for Lemmy
But also, considering that at one point in Tumblr’s history, you could edit other people’s posts, maybe it is an improvement.

Why the downvotes?
I’ve added some alternatives to subreddits but I also saw that my Lemmy communities aren’t categorized yet. Is there a way for me to do that or do you have to do that?
That’s kind of what I meant too, if there’s a standardised and correct way to implement things, that’s how projects should implement it instead of trying to do it the “Mastodon” way
That’s not what I meant. I read at some point that there’s a group of people trying to build a wiki or something, so others, who want to make fediverse software, can look up best-practices and the like. They also wanted to make demo software to test the federation against, so Mastodon doesn’t have to be used for that.
Isn’t there a group of people now that’s working to improve the ActivityPub spec and actually define things so applications don’t implement it differently?
You mean from your Lemmy account? Some things federate between Mastodon and Lemmy but I’m not sure if you can follow people
ActivityPub doesn’t refuse to fix them, it’s just not that simple. Solutions have been worked on for a while.
But wasn’t the point of the post that it should, in theory, be possible to use a single account for all the different services by having a client that supports them all, since these different services federate with each other? I don’t know if that’s currently possible without making changes on the backend but if you need different accounts for each service, even if it’s handled on the back-end, that kinda goes against the whole point of the post, no?
