I can also enter the instance name myself on that screen and then it checks if it’s a Lemmy server, right?
So if there was a “login with username”, you would type your username@instance, then Voyager would check the domain and show the next page you are talking about, with a pre-filled username.
If I typed the wrong domain here and it turned out it’s a malicious server pretending to be a Lemmy server, then what happens?
Also, wouldn’t it be highly unlikely that the users email domain is malicious?
It’s true you can login with your email, instead of your username. But what I am saying is, in Voyager, it should only ask for your username+instance ([email protected]).
If I by mistake type my email: [email protected] it will obviously fail, right? Because there’s no Lemmy server at that domain.
You already validate Lemmy servers in Voyager, right? So if “[email protected]” doesn’t match a Lemmy server, an error would show.
It doesn’t matter if there’s an email server or not.
I am not logging in with the credentials “[email protected]”. I am telling Voyager that I want to log into “Lemmy.wtf” with my user “Meldrik”. Before I type a password, the app will check if “Lemmy.wtf” exists and maybe even check if there is in fact a user named “Meldrik”. If all are true, then it will ask for password.
Something like that. I don’t know how Voyager works 😁
You would only be able to login this way with your username. If you by mistake use your email, then it simply doesn’t resolve to a Lemmy server and the login fails.
[email protected] would simply fail, because that Lemmy instance does not exist.
Really cool work.
Exactly.
Some instance names can be a bit tricky to type, like sh.itjust.works, so an autocomplete would be a huge help.
People shouldn’t even have to choose their instance. People should type their full username.
Fx: [email protected] should be enough and then their password.
Is t it a community effort though and does it not pull in info from other BookWyrm instances?
At least you have done something nice for the next one, looking for those books 😁
Awesome work, @[email protected]!
Will be updating my server asap. And hopefully Lemmy will get a new release soon and fix federation between Lemmy and PeerTube.
You are thinking about channel membership, right? This is something that could also be implemented in PeerTube, either by Framasoft themselves (devs of PeerTube) or as a plugin by anyone.
You mentioned LTT. They have their own video platform. It would have been cool if they had actually used PeerTube and build upon that instead of creating yet another "walled" video platform.
So I can’t type in a domain manually?
