I mean by this, is there any website that with one sign up would allow you to have a matrix account, lemmy account, mastodon account, etc. If it couldn’t be done with just one url it could be made a thing where it would be service.website.tld (so an example would be lemmy.myreallycool.website). Is there anything that already exists like this? I think it would be really cool to just have one home server for everything that you need, and to also have the same identity on all platforms. Another actual practical application of this I can think of is if you want to message someone you know from lemmy but on matrix you could just change the domain (ex: @[email protected] to @[email protected]) or something like that. I know that one of the big appeals of the fediverse is that the accounts are interoperable but I still end up using a different account for my mastodon and lemmy accounts for example. I’m genuinely interested in something like this as I think this would be a really cool idea.
You just described (my service, paid hosting) Communick.
Sign up at the main “portal”, choose your plan and your username will be the same on all services that you activate. You get your mastodon account as
@your.username@communick.com, your Matrix id is@yourusername:communick.com, and your Lemmy account is@your.username@communick.news. Authentication is unified - except for Lemmy, which does not provide an easy way for SSO.Awesome idea! Signed up immediately but am curious about the payment options, I’m seeing options to sign up for an instance of mastodon, or 10 accounts, or one account with the single account being $9 yearly?
My question is, will I have to pay every single month for every account that I own?
For example, if I have an account on mastodon, lemmy.world, lemmy.ml, lemmy.nsfw, beehaw etc. Would I have to pay for all of them individually?
I’m probably missing something! It’s just that while $9 a year for a single mastodon account is cheap @ less than $1 a month, I’d like to have every possible instance available for this one account which under my understanding would cost me hundreds every year?
It’s a great idea, don’t think I’m shitting on it in any way! Just asking questions bc I’d like to use it just not sure I want to pay for every individual instance I join
