It's how it SHOULD work.
Like if I comment on someones picture on pixelfed, and someone replies to my comment, the notification should go to my inbox.
Then, if I post a video on peertube, and 5 people leave comments, those comments should go in my inbox.
And if 30 people leave replies to my Lemmy comments, I should have 30 comments in my inbox.
And that inbox? It should be one inbox. One account. If I see the notification for pixelfed, and I click the context button, my browser should take me to that pixelfed post. Then, if I click back, to the inbox again, and click context for the peertube comments, it should take me to that video.
That's what I imagined when I first heard of the fediverse.
Have you ever tried Mbin? https://fedia.io/
It has both Lemmy and Mastodon on the same website, and all notifications arrive in the same inbox
From a privacy perspective it'd be annoying if the default weren't one-identity-per-website, though. That's how it ought to work. If the user then wants to instead use a single one (akin to how OAuth logins allow you to use a single identity for auth purposes) that's on them, but it should not work that way without explicit enabling.
