A humble request for all the #fediverse #devs: please, we need a #singlelogin for all the various services. Imagine having your mastodon account and logging with that to #pixelfed or #peertube... that would be a killer feature. Any work already been done in that direction that I don't know of?
@freemo
Oauth can work even between different servers? I used it once but the programs were on the same machine
🇳🇱
@arteteco depends what you mean. It means that you can sign on with one click on any server which uses the OAuth provider you are registered with.
Usually when you see things like "sign on with your facebook account" that is OAuth
@freemo
Ohh... marvellous. And how is the integration with the fediverse going?
@arteteco The only OAuth capable software in the fediverse that I know of is nextcloud with a plugin. But it isnt an OAuth provider, just a consumer. So in practice it just lets you sign on with your google or facebook account.
@freemo @arteteco I don't know how it's working ... Just I read that here : https://project.hubzilla.org/help/en/developer/zot_protocol#What_is_Zot_
Thinking the wiki on the devs hubzilla channel probably has info of interest.

Mikes channel, where some news is posted and discussion takes place will probably also be of interest
@xj
Thanks, do you know if and where the issue is being worked on?
That said, one of my goals down the road is to build "api adaptors" that would basically plug into pubstomp and adapt to, say, the mastoAPI, pleromaAPI, etc, which would make it somewhat similar i guess? Progress is slow because it's just a free time project more or less, and it's not up in a repository yet, but it will be up at github.com/fontina-project/pubstomp down the road
@arteteco OAUTH already makes that possible. Just need the activity pub services to start supporting it (some do, not many)
