If I'm getting it right, sounds like a more refined and self-hosted form of Linktree, a.k.a. a hub for your social medias so people can find you more easily. Is that it?

    I think I get it.

    Personally, I like the idea.

    And something that comes to mind, Mastodon, Lemmy and PieFed all have methods of account migration. Perhaps such Bytescape tool could integrate to those too?

    And further on that, apparently Piefed doesn't import info that it doesn't federate with, e.g. Kbin.Social since iirc it can't be reached (correct me if I'm wrong pls). Also maybe that happens with Mastodon and Lemmy but haven't checked. But if I'm right on that, it would also apply to active but defederated instances. So maybe such potential integration could be used to preserve information that would otherwise be lost as it's not imported?

    Unfortunately, I'm not familiar enough with Iroh to understand what exactly this is, but point #3 sounds interesting. Does this mean that, if a user has linked their identity to this service (and the other special media sites they are using support it), would I be able to see all of a user's posts across multiple social media sites? E.g. filtering the feed by a certain user, and it shows all of that users' posts on Mastodon and Pixelfed?

    This was one of my stretch goals for https://fediverser.io/, and I would definitely be interested in helping with this. Basically, the end goal would be to create ActivityPub actors that are based on the DID to completely decouple their identity from the ActivityPub server that is serving their inbox and outbox.

    @robert.meyer86 See also https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/src/branch/main/fep/ef61/fep-ef61.md. This is already part of Fediverse and has multiple implementations.

    Can you give more detail on how Iroh would viabilize this? I'm unfamiliar with it
