Why can’t we have federated identity to login into fediverse instead of creating login for each instance?

No some communities need a new login. lemmy NSFW has no content without it. th there's the issue of having a slow instance like world vs another instance

You don't need a new a account for this, just make sure you have "Show NSFW" enabled in your profile.

Not exactly because some instances defederate other instances. I'm pretty sure lemmynsfw is defederated by some instances (like Beehaw I think??), meaning you'd need an account on another instance in order to most properly view and participate.

Beehaw is not defederated from lemmynsfw.

You're right. I'm not sure why I thought they were. I wonder if they were temporarily at some point???? Or maybe I am just having a massive brain fart.

You might be thinking of lemmygrad or lemmyworld, there's a lot of lemmynames around these days :)

Also it's kinda practical to have an alt for lemmynsfw since account activity is openly available

this is the sturm and drang of every collaborative work I guess. Those led by a single person / company will produce a more streamlined but restrictive product. Those led by committee produce a more chaotic but free experience.

Others have already said, but I will reinterate:

You have to go to your account settings and enable "Show NSFW". It is off by default.

Nah, it's been enabled, it's literally just that instance that wont show anything without an account on their instance.

Unless you mean the setting for my *.world account can be on everywhere else but OFF on the *nsfw instance alone??

I have an account on .world and can see NSFW content from lemmynsfw..
