It seems to be a common misconception that once you have a Reddit account you can use that to login anywhere on the fediverse. In reality it's more the other way around. Your Reddit account talks to FB, YT, Twitter, IG, etc. So you're interacting with me while I'm on kbin and you're on Lemmy. If I wanted to, I could reply to this comment from my Calckey account ("Twitter"). And if for some reason it appealed to you, you could get this content in Friendica ("Facebook"). That's the magic of the fediverse.
