That post was A LOT to digest. It will take me a while. My first thought is to wonder if having accounts on all instances is necessary to consume the content? In my example I talked about bringing content into my home feed. So at first it’s a matter of forming the content to be viewed in the current context. I’m struggling to understand why that would need every account on every instance. I need to read your post some more.

@Jens Ljungkvist :mastodon: It isn't necessary to consume it. If you only want to consume it, you can follow anything and everything from Mastodon, only with the limitations that Mastodon is incapable of showing certain elements:
quotes
text formatting (bold type, italics, underline, inline code, code blocks)
advanced text formatting (headlines, bullet-point lists, numbered lists, tables, variable text sizes, superscript/subscript etc.)
more than four images in one post
images embedded between text blocks

If you want to see all this properly, you still only need one account on one instance of one project that supports all this. In fact, if you move from Mastodon to CalcKey entirely, that should cover almost everything, and you still only need exactly one login.

But I've seen people wish for "one account for everywhere in the Fediverse" so so many times over the last weeks and months, and I can't help but assume that they always want all capabilities of logged-in users on each instance of each project.

  Alas no app for #Calckey yet, which is where 80% of "following" occurs (on mobile via @apps but they have been silent lately).
