Sure but a more generic ActivityPub instance implementation and client API with good support for both Mastodon-style microblogging and Lemmy-style group discussions (and FEP-400e if that goes anywhere or whatever else people settle on) can easily fit within the “one thing”. There is a ton of overlap between the two and I am pretty sure such implementations will emerge eventually.
