Do you think if SSO was possible across Federated platforms that it would help drive adoption of decentralized platforms like Lemmy, Mastodon, Pixelfed, Kbin, and others?

Not really. The content of what is in the fediverse is still distributed and not owned or living in a single instance.

It would add the ability to simply your username/instance/password administration.

It would also allow an account to have an ability to create a community because if I find someone on Lemmy that has similar interests as I do it's likely I would enjoy their content on other platforms.

Right now people have to post all of their social media in their profile and then I have to go log into those platforms and go find them to follow them.

If I found someone that I want to connect with on multiple platforms it be would be great if I could choose them through a "Follow Me Across The Fediverse" option where I could pick what platforms I follow them on.

I think it could add a lot to the sense of community.

Putting your Teflon and other non-stick applied coatings come off even faster with you put them in the dish washer. I know they say they are are dish washer safe, and they probably are for the first dozen washes.

My cast iron has gotten to the point where I practically don't need oil on to fry an egg.

Be good to your body and your family an nice away from those coated pans.

Is gentoo a good choice?

Reply in thread

I would agree with this. I used Gentoo for a while before moving to Ubuntu.

Gentoo helps you learn and leads (forces) you down the path of getting under the hood to tweak your Linux experience.

I wouldn't recommend it if you need to build systems quickly for production. I'm sure there are hacks to do it more quickly.

I'm really glad I used it before Ubuntu. I feel like a have a much firmer grasp of the concepts of Linux because of my experience with it.

Lemmy login using Mastodon account

Reply in thread

Got it, but I figured if I'm trying to log into the application, the credentials from my Mastodon account would be authenticated against my instance there.

Like having a email client on your computer. You should be able to authenticate against your Yahoo, Outlook, or Google.

I thought federated accounts would utilize the same authentication regardless of platform because they use the ActivityPub protocol. Maybe I need to learn more about it. Based on the information about that page it looks like you can auth into Pixelfed and PeerTube using your Mastodon credentials.

I would love it if eventually there could be SSO across Federated platforms such as Lemmy.

Additionally, from the Lemmy wiki page it says it is compatible with Mastodon and PeerTube. I guess I would like to understand how they are compatible.

Lemmy instances are federated with each other, allowing a user on a given instance to participate in a "community" on another Lemmy instance without having to create an account on the other instance;[4] and with other instances in the Fediverse that use different software. ActivityPub is the protocol used to allow Lemmy instances to operate as a federated social network. It allows users to interact with compatible platforms including Mastodon and PeerTube.[15]
