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

I think this will ultimately be solved by 3rd party clients.

There are tons of mobile apps in the pipeline and some already released. I just got set up with Memmy a couple days ago and it already makes things a bit easier; a step in the right direction.

On desktop I imagine browser plugins helping to tie the experience a bit more together. Hopefully the vanilla UI can also deal with cross-instance behaviour down the road.
