If I understand correctly, you don't really login with Mastodon.
You create a new Pixelfed account which imports information from you Mastodon account ?

@Zekovski @pixelfed yeah this is confusing. Why is it "log in with" but also asks to create a new password?

Yeah this is a UX nightmare imo. You're not signing in, you're registering. This tries to help onboarding but I can see it making it worse for non technical people.

I think a better approach would be to have a "import profile information from Mastodon" button during the registration flow, I think that describes better what's happening.

@connelhooley @Zekovski @pixelfed yeah I know from experience that in a situation like this (offered login but it's registration), I feel tricked, and like the app just wants to use me. Not a great start.
