✨ 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.

Single Sign On would be the opposite of a federated system, right?

And for posting... posts are federated via #ActivityPub... so you don't need an account on an #Mastodon instance to post "on Mastodon". Write your post on #Friendica, #Pixelfed, #Calckey, wahtever...

Not sure if single signon is opposite. Instances already interoperable.

I’ve experienced posting, following, favoriting, etc. from one kind of instance to another kind, and it retains the feel of the instance your account is on.

I’d my Lemmy experience to be different than my Mastodon experience but use the same account for both. For now, it’s easier to just make an account for each, but it seems weird to do it that way.
