I wish this was more of a Single Sign-On approach instead of making it easier to just create a Pixelfed-account from a Mastodon account. It’s dope that it’s even attempting to find Mastodon accounts I follow who are also on Pixelfed in order to just easily follow them.
I wish nomadic identities were a thing. It’s a concept I found out about recently, where you could have one Fediverse account for all services, and just login to whatever you want with that preexisting account. Sort of what you describe as a Single Sign-On approach.
What I think is cool about this way of doing things, is that you could host an ActivityPub server, and login to any instance, even if it’s not your own. For example, I could login to lemmy.world or mstdn.social with my sopuli.xyz account. Or at least that’s what I understood.
It would probably get me to use the rest of the fediverse, tbh. Right now I only use Lemmy.
It would be interesting if when creating account on a website, along with “Signup with Facebook” and “Signup with Google” there was a “Signup with Mastodon”. Not sure if that would be good or bad.
Off topic, but since this is an post about pixelfed and I can barely find anything about this issue elsewhere: is there any way to get hashtags you’re following to actually show up in your feed? All I’m getting is a handful of accounts I’m following, and since they don’t have much content, it’s a pretty limited experience.
