This is a really great, technical overview of how the fediverse works behind the scenes. And really makes you appreciate that it works at all.
Massive props to @hongminhee for this write-up and all their work, and those of others that make fediverse possible.

One caveat I might have, and this is not an issue with the article, of course, and I generally agree that "the fediverse needs more apps", but!
This is where the Atmosphere has a big advantage.
Yes, some of us might prefer to have separate accounts on different servers and platforms, and keep individual hobbies, interests, and other layers of our personality separate. I think that's fine.
But some of us might prefer to manage one account, and until nomadic identity is widely supported across the fediverse, having more apps to sign up for might not entice everyone.
Just a thought!

To elaborate a bit more: Yes, let's make more fediverse apps. But maybe primarily promote them *outside* of the fediverse, as a way to bring in more people who may not be interested in Mastodon.

@stefan Like everything else : it's the bridges that makes a solution working for all
