I was under the assumption that I can use one fediverse account across all ther fediverse apps, but this doesn’t seem to be the case.

I.e. I downloaded the mastodon android app and tried to select kbin.social as the server, but it gives an error.

Same for jerboa, it won’t let me connect to kbin.social, saying invalid credentials.

Is this something on the roadmap or am I simply wrong with my assumption?

    Do you actually sign into Outlook.com with your gmail account, or are you just reusing credentials to sign into a separate account on Outlook.com? I’m not sure that the two systems federate, but I’ve got an Outlook.com account that uses my gmail email address as the username, but the account is completely separate.

      Nah, like the other guy said, it’s just OAuth. It’s silly that they even let you do it, but hey, it is what it is.
