@mike this is a real issue, and there should be a better way to have a shared identity across multiple systems.

@Transportist so true! And my lemmy, ghost, bookwyrm and Wordpress accounts didn’t even make the list. Plus I have a number of federated magazines that I curate.Bringing together all the dimensions of someone in the fediverse, sort of like a federated version of linktree, would be really helpful.

@mike this is going to turn into a mess.

@mike I was thinking more of a Federated Identity. Some trusted server(s) would host my ID(s) and the tokens to log into many other services I choose to connect with. So I could even use an email address as my identity, (or my identity as an email address) and it would be verified somewhere, and then my ID would be that. I could set up accounts anywhere with that identity. I imagine this is non-trivial to implement and am sure there are even more issues with adoption.

@Transportist I totally agree that this is needed. Some people will want to maintain specialized accounts on specific services but I believe most will want to have a single account they can use across whatever services they find useful now and in the future. Solving this is going to be really important for the fediverse to grow.

@russell it doesn’t have to. We can solve this if we all collaborate.

@mike @Transportist Hello,On this subject, there is work beeing done on the subject. For instance, Pixelfed allows you to connect with a mastodon account.I do not know if it is related or helpful for your usecase, there is also the concept of Nomadic Identity. Your identity would not be dependent on the server you are logged in. You would have gateways that tell the rest of the network who you are. And your posts and media are associated to an ID that do not change when you migrate.

@mike @Transportist I'm using different accounts for different languages. Some people would use different accounts for different topics. The real challenge is being transparent to a potential follower, so they could choose which one they want to follow.
