This is one of those deceptively useful #FediTips that can accelerate user adoption for
@pixelfed , @Mastodon and the #fediverse in general.

Is there a benefit to this if you already have a PixelFed login? Does it automatically link your PixelFed and Mastodon accounts?
@dansup @pixelfed @Mastodon What if the mastodon instance with which we sign up at pixelfed goes off? Would we lose access to that pixelfed account?
@famubu @dansup @pixelfed @Mastodon That's why you're actually creating an account on the pixelfed instance 😊.. It's not OAuth/SSO Login like "Login with Google". It just makes it easy to create pixelfed account and import your contacts.

Oh ! It looks awesome ! Can’t wait to try it !
It is possible to link Mastodon to an existing Pixelfed account to avoid data loss ? I don’t really want to restart from scratch ! 😊
@dansup @pixelfed @Mastodon It’s more a sign-up than a sign-in with Mastodon, right? Any benefits /use-cases for existing pixelfed accounts?
@dansup @pixelfed @Mastodon You don’t know if there’s a way to find people you’re already following on Mastodon if you’re already signed up, do you? I tried to find it in the iOS app, and couldn’t see anything. I should check the web version.
@dansup @pixelfed @Mastodon is there a fediverse oauth already that can be used for sign in?
@dansup That's pretty neat. Now I just need to be able to either link an existing account to Mastodon or at least scan my followings so I finally get some content into my Home Feed.
