There are a few repos where it might actually be possible if you are willing to tinker and accept the very high risk of getting banned. Specifically the ViaBedrock library and the ViaProxy application. Right now, These tools are highly experimental and serve more like advanced world viewers rather than ways to legitimately play on servers but they also work on bedrock realms as well. Worth giving a try if you know what you are getting into, Was going to make a video on this rabbit hole although I massively overcomplicated what I wanted to share with that project. Especially with figuring out bedrock server world archival, ReplayMod, and a ton of other stuff with the Lifeboat featured server I’m a big supporter of.

That’s a good point, There is a way to get WSA running on Windows 10 through a few third party tools although I don’t currently have access to documentation for that and I also ran into issues with configuring those repositories accordingly. Also I do feel like BlueStacks is quite bloated although Android Studio for virtualization and scrcpy for wirelessly controlling and viewing a phone works well for applications that aren’t games.

I agree, It reminds me a lot of what Mastodon instances I’ve seen were like shortly after Elon Musk bought Twitter with that being the main thing hooking me into the fediverse despite the fact that I’ve never used Twitter. Thankfully those communities did develop and mature over time although it took a while for people to move towards unique types of posts and conversations. I believe the same can apply here with Beehaw and Lemmy although we need to be the ones to help foster the change we want to see.

That seems quite exciting, I’m personally hoping to see a platform agnostic Lemmy application available for desktop operating systems as that would be a really nice and convenient way for users to interact.
