It looks like each instance wants an instance-specific login, but my federated account is searchable, so I should be able to link it. Problem is, I can’t figure out how.

Help me, programming.dev

    Generally the fediverse is not designed to import identities. Every instance has its own set of identities and you can’t log in across instances like that. You can access posts, but can’t use another instance to post. It’s a matter of trust. The original instance has no way to trust the second instance with your credentials/the authority to post on your behalf.
