The login interface only allows login with mastodon servers.
My only account is this lemmy.ca account.
Will it be possible to add login options for lemmy and other activity pub server software (e.g. friendica, peertube, etc)?
Understand that you’re not really logging in with mastodon but importing account information and followers from a mastodon to create a new account on the instance. There’s no single sign on for activity pub.
Ahh, I see.
Thank you for correcting my misunderstanding.
But since it is activity pub would it mean I can still interact with pixelfed accounts?
I don’t know the specifics if pixelfed users can post to Lemmy, but Lemmy generally doesn’t support following users from, say, mastodon. They can post here and follow communities from here into their feed if they format it right but we can’t view their feeds only their posts to communities and replies. That’s what kbin was trying to accomplish.
Are you talking about an app?
No. On the website (pixelfed.ca).
Here is the list of mastodon servers: https://pixelfed.ca/auth/raw/mastodon/start
There is no mention of other activity pub servers: https://pixelfed.ca/login
Yeah right now it only supports mastodon for any sort of shared login. Lemmy doesn’t have the backend support to do this yet.
Right. That’s more a question for Dansup/Pixelfed, I think.
Although, you don’t really login with those accounts. You still create a new one. It just copies the info from your Mastodon account – profile pic, bio, username (if avail). It also adds your follows which could save time but, unless those follows are posting pics, you won’t actually see them in Pixelfed. It really just saves you a bit of copying and pasting.
Thank you for correcting my misunderstanding. I though you could have one account for the whole fediverse.
I think in this sense AT Proto’s structure is better. It is one account for all services.
With one caveat being there’s nowhere else to go ;)
