I like it, when I can change my username more or less freely within on and the same user account. I don’t want to talk politics with the same nick as my kinks.

I hope the cross-service-integration will get better. Think about the many embedded tweets within reddit. Now think how nice a seamless discussion of all participating on either mastodon or Lemmy will be.

It seems that this inter-contentedness (at least over Lemmy-instances) is already getting better!

I recently connected my Mastodon.social and lemmy.ml monikers by following/subscribing myself. It is not the experience I would like but a learnable limitation.

That said, we will see better cross-verse integration in the future.IMHO what we need most is a way to migrate accounts from one instance to another. Ultimately this has to be a feature of ActivityPub itself. Lacking this feature people will hesitate to move instances, which is a requirement for ahealthy fediverse ecosystem.

/edit: a word

Never mind, found out myself.

Thank you for this elaborate response. I did not want to imply any wrongdoings on the developers side, I am just starting making sense of all this. So, how do i subscribe to e.g. https://beehaw.org/c/creative while using lemmy.ml?

I am trying stuff right now and must say lemmy seems not jet well integrated into the fediverse. I searched for a post I wanted to comment on on mastodon.social. Yes, i found it and could comment it on mastodon, but it did not show on lemmy. I do not know if there is some kind of moderation which I have to await, but it is definetly not seamless. Likewise, how do one interact with other lemmy instances? I did not find a way to communicate over instance-borders. If somebody has more experience / insight into this, please help.
