So, I remember a while ago seeing a list of services that support signing in with your #Mastodon account such as #pixelfed but having trouble finding that again (I'm sure there was more than just pixelfed) - anyone know where such a list is? @feditips ?

It's not really a thing as far as I know?
The "sign in with Mastodon" on Pixelfed basically just copies over some of your settings from the Mastodon account, but still creates a new Pixelfed account.

@feditips
Right, but who else supports that? I'm sure I saw a list of other services that did the same thing.

@SmartmanApps @feditips The article claims that it not only simplifies login but simplifies sharing between accounts. If accurate, really wish this sort of thing would become more widespread in the Fediverse.
On a personal note, I'd love to be able to use my Friendica account with Bookwyrm.

@william_1844 @feditips
Yeah, so the reason I ask is because I saw a thing even longer ago (I think from Feditips?) about how you can get for example #Lemmy posts in your Mastodon account, but if you go to Lemmy itself then you have a more appropriate front-end, where in this case you would have a better threading experience, etc., so I was wondering which of them also support this pixelfed feature.

It sounds like you're just talking about the general feature on the Fediverse where if you follow an account from another service, its posts will appear in your timeline?
You don't need to sign in on the other service for this to happen. You can follow other services' accounts from Mastodon just like you would follow any Mastodon account.

@feditips @william_1844
Yeah, that was from this end, but then the article says that if you go to the other end you have the more appropiate UI for interacting with the content (in the case of Lemmy it's threading, in the case of peertube it'd be the various play controls, etc.), but also, I think(?) you can receive your Mastodon content there, in your feed there.

@feditips @william_1844
So for example, first screenshot is what I see boosted to my Mastodon feed from following a Kbin magazine, and in the post if I click on the link it takes me to the original post (but separate login needed, but pixelfed supports using your Mastodon account, once you have gone through the set-up for that).

@feditips @william_1844
P.S. I also get all the text in my Maston feed, but clicking on that gives me the link to click on for the original content.

Hey @phocks I think you're on pixelfed too? Have you tried this thing with using your Mastodon account to sign-in to pixelfed?

@phocks @SmartmanApps @william_1844
Just to repeat, this isn't really signing into Pixelfed with a Mastodon account. That isn't possible AFAIK.
This process is basically just creating a new Pixelfed account, but copying over some settings from your Mastodon account.

And just to repeat, I know that, and am looking for a list of services that support that. Someone posted one ages ago, but now I can't find it.

You can only use the UI of a server where you have an account.
You can only receive your Mastodon content there if you also have an account there and then follow your Mastodon account from there.

Yes, and there was an article about services that support that, which I now can't find.
