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

I think you mean /u/mango_master@lemmy.world
Should be @mango_master if all is working correctly, actually ;)
The threadiverse is a bit complicated since there needs to be a way of distinguishing between users and groups, but the
@user@host.orgformat is standardized across the fediverse.It's funny because using the /u/ format seems to work just fine in the web interface, creating the proper link. Typing it out in the @ format doesn't automatically create the hyperlink when I type it, but yours works just fine. ¯\(ツ)/¯
Also the /u/ format works when viewed in the Lemmy web interface, but not necessarily inside apps or from other federated services. :)
It also probably doesn't count as a mention, so the user won't be notified even if they have that enabled in the settings.
