Diaspora 101

I am a naive user of federated social media. Loved the Adobe Air Tweetdeck when Twitter’s api was still open. But that is an old story.

I just opened an account on the big Diaspora pod, diasp.org. I loved the idea of Diaspora

Now it has to have a phone app. And Fedilab works well for me with Mastodon. I find myself looking for a different use for Diaspora… an overlap in communities (loosely defined) isn’t enough. It would be cool if I could engage with each of Mastodon and Diaspora through the same interface. Must be somehow possible…

New JetPack works well enough for now for me with WordPress on the phone. That makes this an effective place for public longer-form writing. I never discovered Reddit but long have used rss readers. The blog roll beside my own blog and later the delicious feed helped feed my thinking.

Back to the question. Could Mastodon and Diaspora streams be read in a single app?
