In 2023, I plan to advocate more for client apps to embrace the larger IndieWeb and fediverse. Mastodon going mainstream is a great step forward, but we don’t want a monoculture. A key IndieWeb principle is plurality: multiple apps with different codebases that can interoperate.
@manton I wrote to the Tapbots developers asking if somewhere down the line they could include ActivityPub support in Ivory, not expecting or even knowing if that is possible. Based on what you have said here, I am guessing not possible. And at the same time, as has been said elsewhere in this thread, I am finding the Mastodon presence in the Micro.blog timeline a little jarring.
