Even though they are both fediverse they still are quite different and one of the important differences is that lemmy does not support oauth so apps don’t have that option, as for why all mastodon apps use it: it’s because of the security benefits to the user and (as a lemmy app developer) implementing auth is hard lol

[–] plasticmonkey@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Oh okay, so does that mean that Lemmy is less secure and more prone to outsiders stealing login info, than with Mastodon? I ask as 0auth seems to be quite important based on some of the comments.
