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?

I'm probably just parroting vague vibes like you say. The first time I heard of pleroma was in the context of Lemmy.world defederating from a ton of pleroma instances that were far right, or otherwise undesirable. But that's more the users and not the software itself.

@srasmus @Aeder Figured I'd chime in as I've been on the #Fediverse for as long as #Gab joined it (as it was, interestingly enough, the first #Fediverse instance I've ever been on!).

The #Pleroma userbase is the most diverse that you'll find on the #Fediverse. You've got crazy alt right folks, gooners, pedophiles, left wingers (usually left wing #Pleroma users will be #trans who just want to self host or be on a super small instance) and more. /1

@srasmus @Aeder A good rule of thumb is to consider muting the ten or so biggest #Pleroma instances if you don't have the stomach to come across edgy or undesirable content while on the #Fediverse.
