Is there any progress towards marrying these different fediverse services together so I could use my Lemmy account on any of them? Is this a goal at all?

You can sign in to Pixelfed with a Mastodon account…presumably this is how you can share your Pixelfed posts to your Mastodon account. Although the poster that posted about this said it wasn’t a good option and I can’t remember why. You can also see Mastodon posts on Lemmy….or maybe vice versa.

Do we actually want that? I like that each service is its own.

I actually agree. Some of these federated services are fundamentally different and when they interact, shit can get weird. Don't get me wrong, I don't think, for example, Sharkkey shouldn't interact with Mastodon, because they are both microblogging platforms, but I wouldn't want to see a picture of a tweet from Mastodon on Pixelfed.

Ahhh I'm sure I've read something about it but I'm not the best person to ask.

I know it's possible because you can sign into Pixelfed with your Mastodon account right now.

You can follow Lemmy threads and users on Mastodon right now, but it's super clunky just from the fact both platforms are so different from each other. Here's this thread, as seen from my Mastodon account on the Tusky app.

Lemmy currently don't have API for that.
