As excited as I am about the Fediverse and its diversity, an all-in-one application is the real dream. I'm afraid efforts are splintering into too many redundant apps (15 at this point across both platforms) when they could be focused on the one app to rule them all with clean, working interfaces for as many federated applications as possible. With Fedilab already supporting Friendica, Mastodon, Pleroma, Pixelfed, Peertube, and even GNU Social (with plans to support CalcKey), adding Lemmy / Kbin would be a game changer for me and many others. Add Funkwhale and maybe WordPress and it's game over you never need to download any other apps.

As a dev, another really cool development to me is the introduction of ActivityPub to things like Gitea, and forgejo, again this is really where the concept of federation just kicks ass to me. Like imagine commenting on code issue, on lemmy/mastdon/discourse? No need to setup webhooks, bots, webscrapers. Just native support for cross-platform discussions.
