npastaSynRequest: Ability to login with kbin account
Not sure about the technicalities of it. Are the protocols similar enough for this?... #kbin
deejay4amNo, the whole idea of the federated system is that you log in and use your home instance.
This spreads the load out since user interaction is the bulk of the system load.
If user identity was federated (like an OpenID type situation) then users would just log into whatever the current fastest instance was.
That being said it would be nice to “link” accounts between various instances (and/or other federated services like kbin and Mastodon), if only to give users a way to validate that multiple accounts belonged to the same person/org (if they wanted). Right now you can just post it in your “About” section of your profile but that doesn’t really stop someone from lying about it, etc.
I think the question is about login to the kbin instance through the jerboa app, we're in the jerboa community after all. In this case it's theoretically possible to implement.
Oh, I’m using Memmy and I didn’t notice lol. I guess that’s points off for Memmy 🤪

Does Jerboa support both lemmy and kbin?
One can't login to kbin server but can see posts from kbin in the feed.
burgersc12Jerboa is developed by one of the lemmy devs. I doubt it will ever support Kbin, since the two share very little besides federating to ActivityPub
