This integration offers a convenient and efficient way for users to connect their Mastodon accounts, simplifying the sign-up process, and enhancing the login experience on Pixelfed....
I wish this was more of a Single Sign-On approach instead of making it easier to just create a Pixelfed-account from a Mastodon account. It’s dope that it’s even attempting to find Mastodon accounts I follow who are also on Pixelfed in order to just easily follow them.
I wish nomadic identities were a thing. It’s a concept I found out about recently, where you could have one Fediverse account for all services, and just login to whatever you want with that preexisting account. Sort of what you describe as a Single Sign-On approach.
What I think is cool about this way of doing things, is that you could host an ActivityPub server, and login to any instance, even if it’s not your own. For example, I could login to lemmy.world or mstdn.social with my sopuli.xyz account. Or at least that’s what I understood.
It would probably get me to use the rest of the fediverse, tbh. Right now I only use Lemmy.
It’s actually just all your Mastodon follows, not people on Pixelfed. Due to the federation, pixelfed and Mastodon accounts can interact how you’d expect.

I see, I just checked and yeah, you’re right. Thanks for clarifying!
