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

You're probably looking at the rainbow pentagon button, which behaves as you describe. There's also a kind of chain link button. That one should take you to the context within your own instance. At least on web that's how it works. Different apps may display differently.

The tooltip doesn't help either - both links only have a tooltip that just says link... IMHO it should be Link to this comment on CURRENT_INSTANCE_DOMAIN for the chain icon thing, and Link to this comment on COMMENTER_INSTANCE for the rainbow thing.

Anyway, the issue about this messy behavior described by @[email protected] is here https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/1048

Oh good, it should be coming in 0.18.2. Nice.
