Why can’t we have federated identity to login into fediverse instead of creating login for each instance?

    There’s a difference between a federated identify and single-sign on. Your identity /u/mango_master@lemmy.world IS federated. You don’t need to have a separate login for each instance. You can use that identity to interact with any instance much the same way I am using my federated identity to currently respond to you.

      I do not have the same experience. If I want to interact with a different instance then I have to login to that instance. Granted I’m very new to Lemmy but so far the apps are not quite there yet and exploring the fediverse is difficult. Searches are useless unless you know exactly what instance you need to find what you’re looking for.
