✨ Sneak Peek of Sign-in with Mastodon
We're almost ready to ship this ground breaking feature which vastly improves our onboarding experience for Mastodon users!
It will be shipping later today after I (@dansup) get some sleep, sorry it's a bit late, this is a complex feature.
I’d really like to see single signon for #ActivityPub servers. I could see it working in one of two ways:
1. (easier for users) Each server software allow signon and posting (etc.) from accounts to Fediverse instances that aren’t the same as the home instance. For example, using a kbin account to post on Mastodon. Each server software would need to know how to interact with the other kinds.

2. (easier for software devs) Let’s say I setup these #ActivityPub servers as subdomains on the same domain:
• toot.example.com (Mastodon)
• doot.example.com (kbin or Lenmy)
• pixs.example.com (Pixelfed)
• vids.example.com (PeerTube)
You’d signup on the example.com landing page, and it would sync credentials to the subdomains. It would work like using your Google account to login on different (sub)domains to Docs, Gmail, and YouTube.
