Back on the “Mastodon was just the first big ActivityPub server and so all the native clients implemented the clientside API that was meant for its JS” — maybe Fediverse clients just need to start having modes for looking at your followers in either messages (text) mode or “Pixel” (photos/videos mode with an IG-type interface) and you’d just use it on the same server, rather than needing in a Pixelfed client and a Pixelfed server. (Or maybe later a Loops client with a Loops server, etc.)

@mathias there seem to be multi-protocol clients in various domains, you seem to want a multi-domain client. That seems like accidental coupling. Ditto on the server side. Even so, and seem to do it on the server side. But different servers and clients with sounds better.
