It would be very cool imo to have similar aesthetic guidelines for all these fronts. Material design is the stardard in this era but Fediverse has the occasion to be more attractive with something new and more organized.

I think that there is some potential in this idea.
Not sure about “default”, but as far as I know, most of the Fediverse platforms can be themed, so it would probably be a good start to design an uniform look for those that have that option already.
This kind of thing can be most easily achieved through bottom-up grasroots movement.
Try making some drafts of how you think the “similar aesthetic guidelines” would look like, gather people who are interested in this idea, and start working on your vision.
In the sense of recommended guidelines, obviously no obligation to follow them from individual instances. I will not underestimate the power of design, it has zero costs and a great impact.
