@ThatOneKirbyMain2568 Oh hello there! It's me on my kbin account. Please excuse my ramble, I wasn't feeling very well.
I will say that your point is well made and that different platforms should definitely prioritise different kinds of content. For instance, I find it entirely reasonable for Lemmy to not federate anything that is not in a magazine, and that Pixelfed only supports content with images. That is simply what they were made for.
But Mastodonians account for nearly 80% of Fedizens making it most people's entire viewpoint of the Fediverse, which makes it reasonable that they support its entire diverse range of content, considering that they are almost there (microblogs, macroblogs, pictures; only thing left is titled content, which they could simply reformat just like Lemmy reformats microblogs).
They will mostly see microblogs anyway, since that is currently more than 90% of the Fediverse and that's what people are more likely to boost, but it will be an option to view other content, maybe helping other platforms get off the ground and allowing the Fediverse to develop like it should. I will also add that the mismatch is not that big. I have often seen Mastodonians making meaningful contributions in Lemmy discussions, and I've seen a Lemmy comment making the boost rounds on Mastodon.
And I completely agree that a distinction should be made between different kinds of content. I have quite a few times seen a stray Mastodonian complaining under content from other platforms saying it doesn't live up to their expectations. I quite like Friendica's approach to this; putting the platform as a badge next to the username in each post.
