@nostupidquestions Can’t you log in to Jerboa using a Mastodon account and log in using a Mastodon app like Moshidon to log in to lemmy? How would that work?
The fedi community and app remains confusing to me. I don’t know if they’re separate federated communities or linked ones and if it’s linked if they are seamless. I don’t know how many levels of complexity I haven’t even considered. Maybe you can only log in through Jerboa sometimes because I can’t with my account.
@Reshirams_Rad_Slam @nostupidquestions this would be possible if someone made a platform that implemented the same APIs for both mastodon and lemmy, but would fail if there was a platform they didn’t implement say Loops and you tried to log into their app. A few fedi microblogging platforms like Plemora already implement Mastodon’s api to allow using the Masto apps with their instances for free.
Federated identity is something being worked on, but will be likely be seperate to AP itself.
