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

@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!
