@dansup Yooo this sparked some ideas about UI in fediverse apps:
What if, when seeing posts from different services, each service had a UI according to the kind of service it is?
A pixelfed video is normally not the same as a peertube video, so it would make sense to see each post via a UI adapted to it. Maybe even add some indication about which kind of service the post is coming from (something that indicates “this is a mastodon post” in a clean way), or add filters/tabs per serv. (…)
@gianclgar this is highly dependent on each project. I think you're pretty much asking for Mastodon to embed the video as seen on the remote server instead of fetching it.

This thing already happens in Friendica btw. Here's a screenshot of your comment from here. You can see a Mastodon icon to the right of your comment:
@dansup don’t forget those of us using brid.gy to federate/push content from our websites to our Pixelfed accounts too please 🙏🏾 @snarfed.org@snarfed.org says there’s still 2 or 3 things outstanding that needs patching so we can interconnect I think 🤔
