There are lots of straightforward ways to improve it, many of which don't even require improvements to the software. And there are also opportunities to make creating, customizing, and connecting instances easier.

What would be good is if you could have a fediverse LDAP like login so you can use your login on any fediverse account and all your post etc link back to that single ID.

Nah, they invented SSO. Which would make a lot of sense for a group of decentralized services.

If you move authentication to any single authority, you have negated all of Lemmy's benefits.

i think he means you could continue to utilize your current single auth source like you do with lemmy.ca.

SSO allows for other sites to validate you at 'your home' by throwing tokens around.
