all of them are literally the same.
That's obviously not true. So if you could explain what you actually mean, that could be helpful.
Mastodon doesn't have Likes at all.
The star you're referring to is Favorite. Those go into your Favorite list. So you can refer back to them more easily.
A unified API and a single login, are two separate things.
A single federated authentication could be a good idea. But the various federated services are different enough that they should have different APIs.
The current version with reversed colors, is all that's needed. I wouldn't change it beyond that.
Mastodon is organized around individuals. Lemmy is organized around topics.
The Lemmy way is far superior.

On Reddit I only ever down voted things that were actually bad advice. Things people shouldn't do.

That was me in the early 80s. It's why I took first grade twice.
I was lucky though. My mother just happened to be a remedial reading teacher. So after she tried every other option, she broke down and finally tried phonics. That was the missing piece. it suddenly all made sense to me.
Turns out memorization is my biggest learning disability. It would be impossible for me to memorize thousands of words. But with some work, I could memorize the sounds of a couple dozen letters.
After that I was a reading machine.
Still can't spell for shit though. Been relying on spell check since the 3rd grade.
Yes. Absolutely. No question.
