Hey folks, I have several accounts across the fediverse (Lemmy, pixelfed, mastodon, bookwyrm), and I think it would be neat to have a single identity across all these platforms.

I'm an amateur self hoster, and was looking into Rebased, a fork of Pleroma. If I were to create a single user instance on rebased, what would I be missing over these accounts on all these services? Could I still use the different apps? (Blorp, Pachli, Rocinante). Would I be missing features?

If you mean "people that use Pleroma", it's not the end of the world. You just need to block or avoid people that flock to a given instance, or do that for the instances themselves.

If you mean the devs, maybe keep an archived fork of the software being used, and use that if they start causing problems that damage the quality of the software, and move to that build while you refactor your instance.

Also I don't think I've seen Pleroma devs in the wild before, and users I also don't generally see, so going by the premise of what you said, @srasmus@slrpnk.net.

And the fediverse can be quite diverse, and so long as the software licenses are respected, there's not much devs or external instances can interfere legitimately.
