At this point, Bridgy Fed provides full functionality across the bridge, except for the ability to follow unbridged users.
The only thing missing is a client that cleans up all of this to make it feel more native 🤔

Low-key, it's *my* most-requested feature, but I know a lot of y'all have wanted this as well ☺️
If any client-builders are interested in partnering up, let's make this happen!
@quillmatiq I can't seem to find any API docs for this?
I truly believe we're getting much closer to a viable multi-protocol open social web, we just need a user-facing experience that brings it all together
@quillmatiq@mastodon.social
How do you think such a client would look like ? Any ideas ?
@javascript One simple option would be to convert these Bridgy Fed notification DMs to native ones, and show the interactions as if they were local. Another is having a bridging switch with the various Bridgy Fed settings on the app's settings page. I have *lots* of ideas, but these are probably the lowest hanging fruit.
@quillmatiq @javascript integrate all the bridge settings into a fork of Phanpy and notification too
People, not protocols or platforms. People 🌐
@quillmatiq I often think about how when I was a kid there was a period (pre-signal) when people did not generally think about what phone provider someone was using -- they just called. I understand there was some network switching in the background, but it was seamless enough I did not notice. curious to see if this could also be possible for open social web with bridges with enough fidelity
