Like two text fields, with the server/instance field autofilling:
username @ server
None of the Fediverse has this nor is it practical as not all servers will be running the same software, many modify theirs with custom things. If you want an application to act as a container, try Ferdium. https://github.com/ferdium/ferdium-app
I had no clue about this! This looks actually decent, will try this later!
This was the great promise of the fediverse – that you would own your profile, and that you would have one profile across the entire fediverse, and that you could migrate that profile from instance to instance if you had disagreements with the admins of your instance – but it seems to have fallen by the wayside with real implementations, which is disappointing.
Real baffled with the met resistance, this is a huge QoL that would provide ease of access for new users.

Promised by who, when? Seriously - I don’t remember it being a part of the proposition
Perfect. Thank you for taking the time to dig this out for me
If you want one profile across the entire fediverse, then host your own instance? Or link your accounts to one central website you own or to one profile you own, e.g. Mastodon or Matrix.
I don’t think “you can host your own instance” is a very realistic solution for the vast majority of social media users. “Just learn to be a sysadmin so you can post memes” is pretty user-hostile.
Because it was certainly the only solution I proposed…
Fine, I’ll bite. Where’s the guide to linking my Lemmy account to my mastodon account so I can use a single sign-on for both. I can’t find one anywhere.
That’s not what I said. I said you can put a link in your mastodon profile to your own mastodon, your own website and your lemmy account. It will then verify those against your mastodon account. No single sign on possible especially not across different applications (lemmy, kbin, mastodon)
Cool. So not only were you sassy, you were wrong. Tough look my guy.

Why? You only need a login to your home instance. Federating the content is done by your instance. So why the need for a “global login button”?
I got into a link posted somewhere in a post that took me to wikipedia’s mastodon but I’m registered on mastodon.world. And this has not been a single instance, happened plenty of times with other lemmy instances.
There are browser extensions that solve this for Mastodon instances. I’m sure the Lemmy and Kbin equivalents will arrive in due course.
There’s a plugin that redirects all instances you’re browsing to re-open on your home instance. Perhaps that’s something you’re looking for?
This a good workaround, but it’s a turnoff for newcomers without this natively.
Nope, it really doesn’t need that, just use any of the web clients if you need that.
But lemmy, nor Mastodon, nor Pixelfed, nor kbin need that.
That’s literally what the web apps are.
Skill issue.
Edit: Downvote away, it’s not like this suggestion warranted actual meaningful discussion. It’s just somebody who fundamentally doesn’t understand how the fediverse works and thankfully the comments are reflecting that.
Edit: replying in an edit because this post doesn’t deserve more engagement with a new comment.
@orientalsniper: I know how the fediverse works, been promoting it since the APIception.
That’s cool and all but platform promotion does not equal platform understanding. Especially since you’re asking questions like this from Raddle of all places rather than looking at the info on GitHub or any of the documentation linked in instances (at the bottom of the page above the code link). I stand by my statement that OP does not understand how the fediverse works and I’m still happy the comments appropriately flamed this suggestion.
Needs better Gaming Chair.
I think it’s the lack of frame rate and no mechanical keyboard
