I don't want to create a new account for every software / server. Where is the #OAuth thing for #ActivityPub?

#Mastodon #PixelFed #Lemmy

@aj I'm working on that.

However it won't help with the status quo, mastodon and pixelfed and the other existing applications won't magically use a common ActivityPub backend similar to the one I'm creating.

@mariusor@metalhead.club @aj@social.id1.in I'm waiting for convergence on multiple ways to do this.

There's OAuth and there's OpenWebAuth. Not sure what's going to win at this point.

@julian @mariusor @BeAware @aj There is also nomadic identity, which is not attached to any server to begin with. I'm sure that OAuth will win (by user count) though - because of Mastodon

@silverpill how does nomadic identity solve the problem of using multiple types of fediverse applications with a single identity?

Is it because multiple individual applications can show the same did:: ?

@BeAware @julian @aj

@mariusor@metalhead.club @silverpill@mitra.social nomadic identity as I understand it allows you to keep your ID if you switch instances, which is similar but not the same as being able to log into and use Site A using an account from Site B.
