I’ve tried to log into Lemmy through multiple apps using my Mastodon username and instance, but I get errors.

I thought federated accounts were supposed to be usable across applications.

Am I misunderstanding?

Yeah, I get you. But unfortunately no. They don’t use the same authentication, they just connect information on the other end. It’s not like the sites that allow you to sign in by using another account. You sign in Mastodon with a Mastodon account an Lemmy through Lemmy. I can’t use my Kbin account to sign into either of those–I just have a separate Mastodon account.
