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

    I wish there was a way links could auto-resolve to the instance I’m logged in with.

      I think people are working on browser extensions to do that, and it would work for users & communities. As far as I can tell posts and comments are numbered by the instance, and don’t correspond between instances, so there is no way to link them in an instance independent way.
