At best, it’s an opportunity to organically introduce other types of content and the associated software to people through the social graph they chose to participate in.
If you did as you suggested, by adding posts / threads / communities / magazines without the consent of the users, that would indeed be a problem.
Preventing Mastodon users from seeing the content after they made the choice is also a problem.
I understand the point you were trying to make. You’re just wrong, in my opinion.
You are also focusing on the wrong software.
Mastodon, as the place most people start with ActivityPub software, absolutely should be able to view other types of content.
The important point is to not force anyone to view that content or display it particularly badly.
When all I know about Kbin is that it doesn’t work with my Mastodon account, why exactly do I use it?
> Technically we are federated, so why do Mastodonians interact so little with the Threadiverse?
I have a much simpler answer to this. Kbin doesn’t allow me to follow (or even view) a lot of the content. Lemmy does better at this.
To be useful, I need to be able to follow magazines / communities without resorting to a web browser that doesn’t have my account (and often won’t show me the content).
The up voting mapping needs to be consistent too!
As a Mastodon user who follows Lemmy posts, I find Kbin integration insufficient to the task.
I want to read link aggregator posts in my Mastodon app, not a web browser.
As for long posts, Mastodon handles those just fine. App developers know there isn’t a universal limit already.
You can pull new images while the old ones continue running happily. That docker-compose down command is completely unnecessary.
Have you tried https://yewtu.be/donate yet?
As for selecting an instance, if that is a barrier, then forcing users to create and use multiple accounts in different ways to see all the content they want to is an even larger hurdle to present to users.
One of the biggest problems with Mastodon is new users who think they need an account on every instance website they interact with.
