Is there any real or serious conversation or work around the idea of a feature-full social media browser?

Basically something like a web browser but for “all the social media” along with useful organisation features too.

For locked down big social APIs, this makes less sense nowadays, but for open alt-social systems, *it is likely the most valuable promise of such systems* that they can become like the web, reachable through an awesome all-in-one app.

    I think this is the next big step for fediverse adoption. Mobile apps can easily obfuscate the different servers, but an integrated browser solution would be huge.

    Like imagine commenting on a blog directly with your Lemmy account, without first navigating to your instance. No more “please link to the original source”.
