I have similar questions too. It seemed as if it was tied to a single device and transferring information from one to another also seemed cumbersome.

- hobofan 6y agoYes[0]. AFAIK fully transferring an identity from one device to the next should not be a problem. The problem is more that updating the feed from multiple devices would create diverging feeds.

- grey_earthling 6y agoIt's common for one person to have multiple feeds/identities, so this is less of a problem than you might expect. There's no structured way to indicate that 2 feeds are the same person (aka #sameAs), but you can easily link to the other feed and just say “this is also me” (because your audience is a bunch of humans that mostly pass the Turing test). Because of this, we get the bonus feature that you can easily follow a different set of feeds on different devices — e.g. perhaps on your phone you want feeds you're less likely to reply to, because you prefer typing on a physical keyboard.
