✨ Better onboarding
Pretty soon you'll be able to sign up with your Mastodon account, or use it to sign in on @pixelfed
Calckey and other platforms will launch later!

@tchambers @dansup @pixelfed I really can't wait for OIDC Federation to be released, because that's gonna make this all a lot simpler and more standardised @dansup Interesting. What happens when user changes Mastodon instances or deletes account? @msh @skymtf if I get your explanation correctly, it means if your Mastodon instance disappears, you also lose your pixelfed account because you have no more way to authenticate yourself on your pixelfed instance right? @dansup Nice to see @pixelfed support federated authentication! I used a plugin on my #peertube server to do the same thing, so I can log on there with my #Hometown credentials. Perhaps it is finally time to spin up a pixelfed with a similar setup :blobthinkingcool: I hope this sort of thing (eventually supporting any #OAuth IDp) becomes a standard feature of all fediverse apps...it would be fantastic for onboarding! @dansup this is really good, cross-platform interoperability is surprisingly limited across the fediverse and it might pave the way for other sites to try it @dansup @pixelfed yes! Killer feature. Once the #fediverse as a whole supports federated logins it will really unlock the potential of the network, imho 👌 @dansup@mastodon.social @pixelfed@mastodon.social Super cool! I don't use Pixelfed but this is cool to see. I'd just make the button have the same size/shape as the regular login button, and make the background a flat purple instead of a gradient, otherwise it doesn't really fit in @dansup @pixelfed If this works as I assume it works it should open the door for a stripped down ActivityPub account service, which other AP services could link to as an alternative to local account creation (or in addition to). This would let people building personal stacks of multiple services have a Single Sign On experience across them. @dansup is pixelfed.social running the actual v0.11.8 tag or is it some number of commits ahead? @BroBot90001 @pixelfed Just follow me or the @pixelfed account and you'll see my posts when it's ready!

@dansup @pixelfed That is how I expected federation to have worked. At two jobs ago, we had to support federated accounts logging into our applications. That meant the user's work account at another company was used for login, not an account within our application itself. Here I figured you would created a federated login somewhere, and be able to use it to log in anywhere else that supported that federation. |
@dansup@mastodon.social @pixelfed@mastodon.social Very cool! I wonder if we should return the favor with Pixelfed SSO for Calckey... 😉
