This is where the model becomes powerful.
People who don’t know about the Fediverse can still participate indirectly.
They receive badges, create profiles, and interact with issuers, WITHOut needing to understand federation.
It’s a gentle on-ramp.
(And I am making sure to add extra friction if they don't have a fediverse account, and encouraging them to create one).

There are interesting possibilities here.
Imagine a Fediprofile plugin that lets someone cross-post to Instagram and Pixelfed.
Or automatically creates a Pixelfed account for an illustrator.
Fediprofile becomes an entry point into the Fediverse.

And all of this to answer @johannab@cosocial.ca question. -- For communities, this becomes even more powerful. A community can run its own Fediprofile hub. Profiles can include: • social links • badges • gamification • streaks • recognitions All tied to the community. -- Example: a hiking community. Imagine a fediprofile hub for mountain hikers where members can: • show their trail badges • track hiking streaks • share gear links • display summit achievements Combine that with a badge issuer and maybe a #Mastodon and/or #PixelFed server for the community. Now you have a decentralized ecosystem.
