Log into vivaldi blog mastodon account

[Andrecon]

Basically I have a vivaldi blog and it made a mastodon account (@[email protected]). I want to get into the account. Is that possible? And how does the account work? Do the blogs get posted there too?

@Andrecon

Hi,
Go to https://blogs.vivaldi.net/ and LogIn.
Then open the top Menu

[Andrecon]

@Zalex108 no. There is a mastodon account. I wanna log into that one. After i made the blog, it made a mastodon account @[email protected] , based on my blog domain

[Zalex108]

@Andrecon

Oh!
Ok.

Social Vivaldi is at Mastodon, but not sure whether the V Account works "outside", in the whole Mastodon itself

Other users will help better.

BTW,
You can go to https://social.vivaldi.net and LogIn there.

About the auto post from Blog to Mastodon, not sure whether would be somehow enabled.

It seems not.

@Andrecon Simply go to https://social.vivaldi.net/ and log in with your account credentials. Read more about it here ☛ https://help.vivaldi.com/services/social/getting-started-with-vivaldi-social/.

About the blog connection, as far as I know you can setup a system where a link to a new blog entry gets automatically posted/advertised from your Vivaldi Social/Mastodon account.

To clarify, this is not your Vivaldi Social (Mastodon) account. This is your Vivaldi Blog's fediverse endpoint.
https://social.vivaldi.net/@[email protected]

From other instances:
https://mastodon.social/@[email protected]
https://mastodon.sdf.org/@[email protected]

Other Fediverse users can follow your blog through their Fediverse clients (like Mastodon etc).

It takes a while for other instances (including VS) to update the posts from others (like Vivaldi blogs).

@Andrecon, PS. with your Vivaldi account you can log in also in Pixelfed Social (Vivaldi instance, similar to Instagram, also part of the Fediverse), not only in Vivaldi Social

[Pathduck]

@Catweazle That is not correct. Vivaldi does not run a Pixelfed instance.
Yes, users can create a Pixelfed Social account, but they can't log in with their Vivaldi account.

Users on Pixelfed Social can follow users on Vivaldi Social and the other way around, but they do not share a user database for logins.

Pixelfed Social is a Fediverse instance (i.e. running ActivityPub) but has nothing to do with Vivaldi.

Example: Here's my SDF Pixelfed profile (I don't really use Social Media):
https://pixelfed.sdf.org/stian
I can log in with my SDF Pixelfed account, not my Vivaldi Account.
My SDF Pixelfed account follows my Vivaldi Social account.
My Vivaldi Social account follows my SDF Pixelfed account.

Another example, a video posted to my SDF Toobnix (PeerTube) account, followed by my Vivaldi account:
https://social.vivaldi.net/@[email protected]/109846473764874185

That's the beauty of the Fediverse, accounts can follow others on different instances, completely decentralized. But that does not mean you can use your account from one instance to log in on another.

@Pathduck, at least I've logged in with my Vivaldi account without problems, it even imported by itself there my Avatar like in Mastodon

[Pathduck]

@Catweazle Oh right, I understand now. The site offers "Sign in with Mastodon" which allows you to approve the sign-in on the Vivaldi Social Mastodon instance. It allows it to read your VS profile, including your avatar, so that's where it's coming from.

It's SSO/Federated logins I guess. Like Reddit allows you to log in with your Google account etc.

So you are correct, that you can indeed log in to Pixelfed Social with your Vivaldi Social account.

But a separate user account is created on Pixelfed, and still important to be clear that Pixelfed has no relation to Vivaldi, it's a completely separate service.

If it was connected to Vivaldi in any way, you'd expect the "Select your Mastodon server" on login to actually include Vivaldi Social

[Catweazle]

@Pathduck, ah, ok, but why then only in Pixelfed Social with Vivaldi Social account?

[Pathduck]

@Catweazle I guess Pixelfed Social have implemented their own FedCM or maybe just enabled it in their Pixelfed server settings?
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/FedCM_API

There's a lot of Pixelfed servers/instances, not just Pixelfed Social:
https://pixelfed.org/servers

Pixelfed DE has the option enabled:
https://pixelfed.de/login

Not for Pixelfed ES:
https://pixelfed.es/login

So probably a setting they can enable.

[Andrecon]

@Pathduck Oh I get it. But some posts don't show. For example, in vivaldi social, it is only the eurkey blog, while on mastodon social there is the eurkey and my logo history. And the number of posts is accurate. How do i make them visible?

[Pathduck]

@Andrecon I don't know, I'm not an expert on Mastodon.

Besides, there's tons of info out there so Google & al. are your friends.

Mastodon/Fediverse is different. People should just stop expecting Mastodon to behave like monolithic centralized social networks. It's a federated decentralized network with a lot of factors at play.
