Support more third-party account connections

(#1195) Feature Under consideration profiles

Problem

I wish that there's should be more connections in Fluxer, particularly those who cared about connecting their accounts to Fluxer.

Proposed solution

Ideally, Fluxer should copy Discord's existing connections one to one, but not all partnering entities would be interested to collaborate, as some may dodge AGPL projects like no tommorrow. As of me writting this draft, Discord had added 23 supported connections, but people wanted them to support more connections (shown in new additions section). Additionally, since there will be many proposed connections planned to be added, sort them in their respective categories like Developer, Entertainment, Gaming, Music and Social Media. Developer:
  • ☐ Github
Entertainment:
  • ☐ Crunchyroll
  • ☐ Twitch
Finance/Retail:
  • ☐ Ebay
  • ☐ Paypal
Gaming:
  • ☐ Battle.net
  • ☐ Bungie.net
  • ☐ Epic Games
  • ☐ League of Legends
  • ☐ Playstation Network
  • ☐ Roblox
  • ☐ Riot Games
  • ☐ Steam
  • ☐ Xbox
Note that it depends whether to support both Riot Games and League of Legends or only support Riot Games. That would be up to discussion.
Music:
  • ☐ Amazon Music
  • ☐ Spotify
Social Media:
  • ☑ Bluesky
  • ☐ Facebook
  • ☐ Reddit
  • ☐ Tiktok
  • ☐ Twitter/X
  • ☐ Youtube
Miscellaneous:
  • ☑ Domain
New Additions:
  • ☐ Bandcamp (Music)
  • ☐ Cash App (Finance/Retail)
  • ☐ Chess.com (Gaming)
  • ☐ Codeburg (Developer)
  • ☐ Deezer (Music)
  • ☐ en.pronouns.page (Miscellaneous)
  • ☐ Kick (Entertainment)
  • ☐ Gitlab (Developer)
  • ☐ GOG.com (Gaming)
  • ☐ guns.lol (Miscellaneous)
  • ☐ Instagram (Social Media)
  • ☐ itch.io (Gaming)
  • ☐ Lichess (Gaming)
  • ☐ Mastodon (Social Media) (mentioned in #1162)
  • ☐ Monkeytype (Gaming)
  • ☐ Newgrounds (Music)
  • ☐ Ninja Kiwi (creators of BTD fanchise) (Gaming)
  • ☐ Odysee (Entertainment/Social Media)
  • ☐ osu! (Gaming)
  • ☐ Soundcloud (Music)
  • ☐ speedrun.com (Gaming)
  • ☐ Threads (Social Media)

Notes (optional)

I am aware that some connections are proposed before I write this draft. Therefore, I will give to those who suggested a connection eariler than me. I know that there is a lot of connections, but adding existing discord connections should have a higher priority.

Problem

I'd like to be able to have my mastodon account linked to my profile, much like how there's an option for Bluesky.

Proposed solution

A new menu option for having my Mastodon as a connected account.

"We do not have plans to add any additional 3rd party connections at this time. If you have suggestions on one to add, post a discussion on the fluxer github please!" - Lilith.
Based on what one Fluxer staff had said, third-party connections are not planned to be added. As such, I decided to leave this disscusion remain open in case there is a need to add this feature in the future.

I don't think the connections is a good idea. Instead the linking that you can do on Mastodon is better as you don't need to connect and be at risk of losing accounts or being stalked upon. Mastodon allows users to add links by adding two empty fields that can be filled in. One for the title exempli gratia stoat.chat and the other for the link username#0000@stoat.chat

I vote for Spotify to be added for sure!!! Wouldn't mind a Steam and/or PSN connection either.
