Could the Nostr protocol be incorporated into existing applications like Lemmy, Pixelfed, Mastodon etc?
It could be "bolted on" to the side, some people are working on that, but there are some very basic premises where they differ which make it difficult (such as an AP account being tied to an instance whereas a nostr account is not). It's like asking "can email be intergrated with discord". Well, yes, kinda, but it's not going to be as smooth as if they used the same underlying protocol in the first place.
