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

Please tell me you haven't been creating accounts on every instace. You can register on one instance then use that account to interact with content and communities on all other instances.

Some people do make this mistake, I've seen a thread or two asking about it after they already started. We'll need a proper solution eventually, likely education/tutorial-based.

Literally every single explanation of Lemmy or fediverse that I have seen makes this really clear. I don't understand where people would get the idea that you have to sign up to every site.
