Any personal favourites that are not so linear that you would like to suggest?

I believe thunderbird has support for Gemini but I haven't tried that out yet, might be wrong.

I didn't know that. I thought I still had a chance!

I think it depends. Not entirely sure though. Now given the context of Lemmy right, you can certainly post to instance C from both A and B. Even if your instance (either A or B) will not fetch messages from each other (due to not federating) you can always go see the messages through instance C (not logged in). That probably works for all defederation scenarios but that is also a very loosely defined interaction as both parties will have to do the same.

A diplomatic answer I know.

Its early still. I guess some patience and effort is needed! The journey is home. :)

It's the ActivityPub API (client to server) where clients supposed to interface with so that you could have one client, for all fedi. But turns out server implementations (Lemmy, mastodon etc) find it not so well designed or performant or adequate (or idk what else) so instead they implement their own client APIs, effectively making clients being specific to the server rather than interoperable (one client that could understand all servers). It's reasonable though, it's just .. I thought... that this was already done and established.. but well..

That feels it went seriously bad

He seems to be nearby, will post pictures after !

I think that for example the search feature has nothing to do with activity pub but it's a feature of each of those software that are using activity pub (Lemmy, mastodon etc). I would guess it operates on those internal structures each of those implementations are using.

Don't like leaving anything to the imagination, right?

I'd take my kids there. Give them markers and crayons. Let them roam..

That's a very inspiring idea. Thanks for that!
