How do we login to Pixelfed with our programming.dev account?
How do we login to Pixelfed with our programming.dev account?
It looks like each instance wants an instance-specific login, but my federated account is searchable, so I should be able to link it. Problem is, I can't figure out how.
Help me, programming.dev
You're viewing a single thread.
Afaik there is a lot of federation but not your identity (meaning you cant use one account for the other).
It just bothers me that searching for me on Pixelfed will list my gram.social and my programming.dev accounts.
The programming.dev one has a full profile already too, but I can't figure out how to access it to post.
Generally the fediverse is not designed to import identities. Every instance has its own set of identities and you can't log in across instances like that. You can access posts, but can't use another instance to post. It's a matter of trust. The original instance has no way to trust the second instance with your credentials/the authority to post on your behalf.
I think you have to follow or resend followed posts from a newly created pixel fed instance id over to your programmer.dev
That's not how it works. What you can do is try to post to pixelfed from lemmy with your account, but I'm not sure how well that works
I believe they traverse a series of tubes.
That dude had been dead for 15 years.
