I wrote an open letter to artists and other creatives who are thinking about giving the fediverse a chance:
“There’s a better way!”

@_elena@mastodon.social My pleasure!
And sorry about the issue you’re running into. I presume you’re using your mastodon.social account? (I know you have a few, so just making sure.)
I was able to log in with my m.s account and it worked, so this is a bit tricky to debug, but let me poke around a bit and follow up.
Thank you so much for trying this out!
@stefan@stefanbohacek.online Thanks Stefan! I tried multiple times with my Mastodon and Sharkey account (calckey.world) – they both produced the error message.
Let me try with Pixelfed now… and if that fails, Friendica 😅
@_elena@mastodon.social Ah, Pixelfed is not yet supported, so you will definitely get this error.
Let me make a small update to make sure Sharkey is recognized, it should work otherwise.
@stefan@stefanbohacek.online I just tried again with Mastodon, Sharkey, Pixelfed and Friendica (in that order) and I still got the same error message 😭
@_elena@mastodon.social Sorry, the Sharkey update just went live now, if you care to try again.
And just to rule this out, are you putting in just the domain name, eg. mastodon.social, without http or your username?
@stefan@stefanbohacek.online ok so I’m beet red and hiding my face in shame… I was putting on my FULL url instead of just the server name. Thanks for the heads-up, Stefan. I just added my Mastodon signature 🙈
@_elena@mastodon.social Ah, no worries, you’re not the only person running into this, so that tells me I needed to do a better job explaining how to use the site. I updated the instructions, hopefully this clarifies things better.
Thank you so much for giving this a try, and your patience!
