Will be my 1-year anniversary on Mastodon and the fediverse in June. Been that long since I left Reddit.
But I still feel very much like a noob. For example, I have a hard time grasping why I can’t sign into my Mastodon profile (https://lemmy.world/u/Hyphlosion@donphan.social ) on lemmy. There’s obviously a profile of my posts, so why can’t I sign into it on lemmy and use it?
@Hyphlosion federated identity still isn't really a thing yet, but following works between most systems. Mastodon will hopefully support groups eventually and that will make subscribing to lemmy communities here easier, and hopefully the reverse will happen too. To get the best experience, and account in each platform is needed for now. Federated identity would be the holy grail of distributed social for sure, though I think an everything client that wraps all your accounts would be cool too.
