The motivation for federated logins would be that often you’re linked to a post on another instance, such as https://someinstance.net/post/12345 now when i click on that, in the web browser it opens on the other instance, and now what if i want to comment?

1. “Maybe if I click login it will somehow do federated login?” Nope.
2. Ok what if I copy the /post/<id> from the URL and paste it in my instance. Nope 404.

Yeah, these two are major pain points. They are unintuitive, i would argue. If you click “login”, it should ask you for your username. If your username is lisa@bumblebee.com, it takes you to bumblebee.com and lets you finish the login process there.

The /post/<id> should have been fixed a while ago. I don’t know why it wasn’t.

Ok i see, yeah, now that you mention it, we have “Löwenzahnmilch” (dandelion milk) in german, which refers to this:

But also, “dairy” doesn’t work so well in other languages. I can’t think of a german translation.

yeah, i see your point. interesting. i never thought of that before

yeah, tbf, “coconut milk” (which i believe to be older name than 20 years, maybe conceived or widespread in the 1960s) is a questionable candidate. What give you can call “coconut milk” milk, but not “soy milk”.

Yeah, but tbh, it kinda makes sense. You can’t print something on the packaging that says something that’s not the case. You can’t call it “oat milk”, because otherwise people should rightfully assume it was milk with some oat in it.
