It looks like each instance wants an instance-specific login, but my federated account is searchable, so I should be able to link it. Problem is, I can’t figure out how.
Help me, programming.dev

It just bothers me that searching for me on Pixelfed will list my gram.social and my programming.dev accounts.
The programming.dev one has a full profile already too, but I can’t figure out how to access it to post.
Generally the fediverse is not designed to import identities. Every instance has its own set of identities and you can’t log in across instances like that. You can access posts, but can’t use another instance to post. It’s a matter of trust. The original instance has no way to trust the second instance with your credentials/the authority to post on your behalf.
I think you have to follow or resend followed posts from a newly created pixel fed instance id over to your programmer.dev
