Is Pixelfed sawing off the branch that the Fediverse is sitting on?

No, far from me saying that the clients (apps?) need to look the same. What I am saying is that the differentiation should be happening at the client, not the server.
It's the thing with Communick. I wish I didn't have to offer separate instances for each of the services (Mastodon, Lemmy, Funkwhale) but that every member could get one account which then could use as their main fediverse actor, regardless of "frontend" suited them best. The shell should adapt to the user, instead of the user being forced to adapt to the application.
So like a single ActivityPub instance that hosts all the data, but users can have a Pixelfed app, Lemmy app, etc. all connect to that one server and use it to give the experience they specifically provide.
That's a cool idea. I can see how that would work.

It might not be what you want, but it is what I want, which is why my primary social media is Friendica because IMHO it does a really good job of working well with all. They have dedicated photo albums, lemmy communities show as Friendica Forums, etc.
And that's great! Everyone gets what they want. But suggesting Lemmy, Pixelfed, and Peertube, etc. should all try to do it the way Friendica does, is a bad idea.

Why would you follow the same accounts on multiple platforms?
Or do you mean one person who has accounts on multiple platforms?
If I have a mutual who is on multiple platforms, and I also have accounts on those same multiple platforms, we would generally be following each other mutually on those same platforms.

I go to pixelfed to post my art and view other peoples art. that’s it. I don’t go there to read posts or what’s going on in peoples lives.
Yes but being able to do that is a design goal of the fediverse
Is it? Beause that seems really dumb.
Here's a radical idea: sometimes, web services are built with features you don't use. Sometimes you don't even *value *those features. But, in cases where your preference isn't in the majority, the decision to include those features won't match your personal preference.
Sometimes, the ability to share and see content between different sites is even a core value.
Weird.
For more information, search "false consensus".
You may want to learn how you can configure your own accounts on various services to manage what you see on each one. Because, to some extent, that's a configuration option.
But your saying Peertube should have all the forum functionality of Lemmy, and the endless short video scroll of Loops.
rgluilis suggested a generic server idea, where the media and experience differentiating is done at the client app level. That could work well. But that's an entirely different cincpet and structure.

Imagine a new client, TextFed, that will never display posts with pictures.

You jest, but I'm pretty sure someone out there made a cli interface for AP.
