I'd like to use both, with preferably the same account, but mainly the same android app

@VintageGenious For sure you’re absolutely right to ask the question. I have the same question :)

I guess I’m just venting. Popular Fediverse systems are implemented in a way that closely mimics exisiting CRUD social media like Twitter and Reddit. You upload a post, it’s stored in a database, and you’re done. Mastodon and Lemmy are the same, with the afterthought of sending ActivityPub messages to other systems.

And we see the result: how federation works remains an obscurity.
