How Lemmy could interop with Mastodon, as imagined in Frontpage + Bluesky (unravel.fyi)

Hey 👋 if you don't know us already, we're building Frontpage; an AT Procol based federated link aggregator. We shipped an initial MVP in closed beta recently and have since been thinking about the road to general availability.

This post is an RFC (Request for Comments) targeted at technically minded folks who are interested in seeing the progression of atproto for non-Bluesky/microblogging use cases. All that's to say the language that follows assumes some knowledge about how Bluesky and atproto work! I've tried to include links to explain what all of the jargon means though, so hopefully it's not entirely nonsense for folks a little less familiar!

When you post on Frontpage, we propose that a mirror post will also be created in your Bluesky account. When you comment on Frontpage, we propose that a mirror reply will be created in your Bluesky account.

Conversely, when you reply to one of these mirrored posts in Bluesky - we will show it as a reply in Frontpage.

Additionally, Bluesky likes will be translated to Frontpage votes and vice versa.

Seems quite relevant indeed.

To the stance above: if people prefer to have a unified experience managed by a corporation, that's okay.

There are enough people on the Internet to keep a few places actives. The Fediverse and Blueskey can coexist.

Yes and that's why I don't understand their comment and even less why it gets downvoted. They seem to complain about something to me that I didn't even mention and the topic was not about combining ATProto with ActivityPub or whatever.

Maybe relate wasn't the right word. English isn't my native language.

Reading the thread again, I guess it comes from

Initially I thought I wouldn’t need multiple accounts for the fediverse.

Followed by

Right now I’m more active on Bluesky

Some people might have understood it as "The Fediverse failed, Bluesky is better". As I said, to me it's okay to prefer one or the other, but some people are less tolerant.
