When I joined the fediverse I thought I'd have an easier time moving between lemmy platforms. So far I have to create a new username/password on each instance and subscribe to all the things I want to on that new account. I kinda wish I can carry my lemmy user to other platforms more easily.
2 years ago I created a FOSS image board platform called Cryptochan where the gimick was that users used GPG as the RBAC authentication method. I wanted users to posses their profile as a file that they could input into any Cyptochan platform to leave replies. The file is a private key that isn't transmitted to the server, instead its used to sign the post right in the users browser. I've gotten better at webdevelopment and the the true reason I created the thing was to learn Next.js, the thing is luke-warm garbage and I never expect it to become anything.
But I was wondering if we could do a similar type of trick where a lemmy instance can package up a user and send it to another lemmy instance?
