Hi everyone,

Not sure if it’s possible, but would like to know if there is something like this:

  1. Can one use just one app / social network to follow the other Fediverse social networks?

  2. And if so, does any app / social network allow for bulk loading a list of keywords to use for blocking. (Everything seems to allow to only insert one word at a time….???)

Have had other Fediverse social accounts in the past, but the splintering and keywords issue always becomes a mission. Very surprised that even Twitter / X also only allows one word at a time. Instagram, Facebook and Threads allow for bulk loading with commas, which is also great.

Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but assume some of you might be on other Fedi networks as well? ANY help would be greatly appreciated.

NOTE: using an iPhone, so Android apps won’t work unfortunately. :-(

    Thanks! But also on further reading, realise that not all Fediverse social networks can interact with one another. And this kind of breaks the whole point of the Fediverse, doesn’t it? Mastodon can follow and interact with Lemmy, but Lemmy can’t even find Mastodin users in search, nevermind follow or interact.

    So the Fediverse seems to be more fragmented and broken than initially understood. :-/

      I personally don’t really want the different social networks to interact. They’re different formats and serve different purposes, I go to each to view different things. Whenever a post from mastadon shows up on lemmy the formatting is confusing and annoying.

      I don’t know if that’s true. I thought it wasn’t. In theory they should work together if they both implement the protoco, maybe it’s the clients or the instances that are lagging behind?
