Who is doing the best work on cross-instance user experience in the Fediverse? Pointers appreciated.
Things like remote follow, share to fediverse, same account for multiple instances etc.

@Johannes Ernst
This in its pure, nomadic form and with proven stability is only available on Hubzilla and (streams) anyway.
They're also the only ones whose instances can detect off-site users' logins and grant them rights that other visitors don't have, provided said off-site users are on either of the two or Friendica. All thanks to OpenWebAuth.
@ Mike Macgirvin 🖥️, creator of all three and maintainer of the streams repository, is currently working on implementing nomadic identity and (streams)' set of permissions using nothing but ActivityPub so it can become available to everything else in the Fediverse as well.
I'm not quite sure, but I think @ Stefan Bohacek or someone who commented on one of his posts has figured out how to share at least to Hubzilla.
However, actual share buttons are all geared only towards Mastodon and hit-and-miss at best when it comes to anything else. The less something is like Mastodon, the less they work with it.

@jupiter_rowland @J12t Yes, I made https://stefanbohacek.com/project/fediverse-sharing-button/ with the goal of a simpler interface (most sharing buttons open a separate pop-up) with the widest possible platform support (which I documented on my blog: https://stefanbohacek.com/blog/making-fediverse-apps-for-everyone/#sharing-dialog)
I also made https://stefanbohacek.com/project/mastodon-tools-browser-extension/, its main feature being the ability to easily switch between instances when viewing a post.
Hm, now that I brought this up, I should really look into how I can extend this to work on non-Mastodon platforms.
This is a bonfire demo instance for testing purposes
