[lab/login] please add federation

[Svenlaa]

i hope this code is fine

todo

• add user-styles.css file for other instances

federates with

• { name: 'todepond.com', url: 'https://todepond-lablogingetusers.web.val.run' },
• { name: 'svenlaa.com', url: 'https://svenlaa-lablogingetusers.web.val.run' },
• { name: 'evolved.systems', url: 'https://evol-lablogingetusers.web.val.run' },
• { name: 'rossilaz.xyz', url: 'https://mittzy-loginredux_getusers.web.val.run' },

how?

1. request all those URLs
2. add the reponse objects to the entries array, including the new instance name
3. act like everything is fine

other

• assumes the first instance in the list in SELF instance
• loads user-styles.css file from svenlaa.com for their styles
• usernames get a lot longer, will break PodeTond 💚 style
• puts instance-specific things into consts at the top of the javascript so it can easily be found when making a new instance
• please review the code, suggest changes. i am bad at big picture stuff

awesome stuff

just making some notes for the future... feel free to ignore or act on - up to you :)

could merge even if these aren't done but let's see

[TodePond]

okay i think we should probably keep track of aliases here. each user of the home server could also be referred to by just their username

(last one before merge!!) ✈️

[TodePond]

i think we can fix these ones, even by hardcoding maybe

[TodePond]

this is a nit: please ignore

* usernames get a lot longer, will break `PodeTond 💚` style

The code was pretty bad anyways (and browser dependent whoch sucks so much). Feel free to remove it / roll it back to gradient only, and I'll figure out something better

it's okay should be do-able :)

check out Logarithm, which seems to have done a lot of these changes! 🤯

awesome stuff, I marked as resolved the ones that I think are done :)

i think it's almost there. probably just needs replies/mentions fixing for when you @ someone on your home server without specifying host - then it should implicitly refer to the person on your home server. this is for backwards compatibility with existing logs

if i have time I'll do it but anyone else is welcome to jump in 🙏
