Why can’t we have federated identity to login into fediverse instead of creating login for each instance?

I do not have the same experience. If I want to interact with a different instance then I have to login to that instance. Granted I'm very new to Lemmy but so far the apps are not quite there yet and exploring the fediverse is difficult. Searches are useless unless you know exactly what instance you need to find what you're looking for.

    I understand. It really comes down to your entry point. For example, as long as I'm viewing the community/user/content via my instance I can interact; e.g. I'm replying to a post on https://mylemmy.win/post/114914 ; you, on the other hand are replying to https://kbin.social/m/fediverse@lemmy.world/t/158389/why-can-t-we-have-federated-identity . Since we're viewing from our own instances we can interact. If either of us goes directly to the canonical URL, https://lemmy.world/post/1194109 , we'd be forced to login. It's all the same post, just different points of entry that muddy the user experience.
