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

Yes, and no. You can access lemmy and kbin instances from mastadon. But the format doesn't work so well I think. I'm not sure how far it goes and how viable it is though. I'm not on mastadon.

But once you have an account on one of the threadiverse instances, defederation aside the same content should be available.

Yeah I think the main actually viable use case for the fact that Lemmy and Mastodon can cross-interact is just when a Mastodon user gets @mentioned on Lemmy and is able to reply to it from there. And vice versa. You don't want to actually be browsing Lemmy from Mastodon.
