Like two text fields, with the server/instance field autofilling:

username @ server

    Why? You only need a login to your home instance. Federating the content is done by your instance. So why the need for a “global login button”?

      The pain point is if someone sends you a link to a post on a different instance you kind of have to jump through a hoop to interact with it

        There are plugins to fix that. However, I dislike that approach, but it’s all we have at the moment and it works.

      I got into a link posted somewhere in a post that took me to wikipedia’s mastodon but I’m registered on mastodon.world. And this has not been a single instance, happened plenty of times with other lemmy instances.

        There are browser extensions that solve this for Mastodon instances. I’m sure the Lemmy and Kbin equivalents will arrive in due course.
