Why can’t we have federated identity to login into fediverse instead of creating login for each instance?

Not exactly because some instances defederate other instances. I'm pretty sure lemmynsfw is defederated by some instances (like Beehaw I think??), meaning you'd need an account on another instance in order to most properly view and participate.

Beehaw is not defederated from lemmynsfw.

You're right. I'm not sure why I thought they were. I wonder if they were temporarily at some point???? Or maybe I am just having a massive brain fart.

You might be thinking of lemmygrad or lemmyworld, there's a lot of lemmynames around these days :)
