How do we login to Pixelfed with our programming.dev account? (programming.dev)

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

I think there are a lot of misconceptions about what federated means. IMHO, it would be really cool if there were an easy way to share and remove a profile across instances that wasn't stored on a server, and it was yours and yours alone to do with what you like.
