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 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

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

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

This captures exactly my inner feeling regarding the fact that no fedi servers implement the C2S api .. (I just realised)

But really, this is very well done, thanks for sharing

However it does not look like it is open source.

However let me just bring into mind that we recently defederated from some Lemmy instances and for which reasons we did that (as beehaw I mean).

Friendica, I believe, federates their groups. You can see them from mastodon as a user. I guess in AP vocabulary they are an actor. You can post to the group from mastodon too.
