Description

I would like to one day set up an Answers instance for [Yarn.social](https://yarn.social) for the (small, but) growing community.

In order to continue to project the privacy of users it would be nice to have support for [IndieAuth](https://indieauth.com/), which works a bit like OAuth but is a bit simpler and designed to support "logging in via your own domain".

As all instances of Yarn.social pods (`yarnd`) today do not require any kind of email address or personal information and are also valid IndieAuth providers, this is ideal as users in the community can just login with their existing credentials against their domain/pod.

Thank you for considering this feature! 🙏 I fully support many of the aspects of the [IndieWeb](https://indieweb.org/) such as IndieAuth as they tend to err on the side of privacy and owning your own data.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the repository's existing authentication and plugin entry points, then compare them with the IndieAuth and Yarn.social provider requirements described in the issue. Done means an agreed implementation scope and working IndieAuth login support for Yarn.social users without requiring email or personal information.
