Once upon a time, we had OpenID. You could host your own identity server and log in to websites with it.
Then the social giants introduced third party SSO buttons and OpenID kinda fell by the wayside.

I've been wondering how to accomplish this lately. I'm looking to host a few Fediverse instances for me and my friends to use. It'd be really nice for everything I run on those to have an SSO via the main domain or a login domain.
My idea was:
Login via
Is this possible, or in the realm of possible?
Have a look at Solid and ActivityPod. I think they are the closest to what you want to achieve.
I like the idea on paper. This feels like what the Fediverse needs. I'll have to tinker around with it.
*diaspora had something like this, but only in the sense you could easily migrate your identity with a few clicks. Not the same as a SSO, which would be great, imo.
Yeah, there is also nostr which has a similar approach and a bunch of other protocols.
That's would be the Bee's Knees.
So far the closest I've seen up until now is Pixelfed integrating a signin with Mastodon by default
And that is to signup with your mastodon at least for now, if memory serves me correctly
I don't really want people from any old instance hopping onto my sites using a SSO, but one thing I thing would be really nice is if you create an account on FBXL Social and it automatically creates the same account on FBXL Lemmy and FBXL Video (and FBXL Matrix and XMPP)
I feel like if I was ambitious it's something that could be done without a lot of coding knowledge.
