Question and/or idea for a more #userFriendly #fediverse
One of my friend is trying mastodon rn, he tried to subscribe to an account and had the message "to continue, you need to follow from your account" (image below in french)
I sometimes have this problem as well when I click on a link to add a new tab, and suddenly I'm not on my server anymore and I am asked the same thing !
Isn't there a way, when you already have an account that you use all the time, to stay connected ?

Might be able to help 😀

To get back onto your server, copy and paste the web address into the search box on your own server (either on the website or in the app). This will make the account profile or post appear in your own server and you will be able to interact with it.

Not very user-friendly but working well 👍

You can also manually paste people's account addresses to make their profiles appear. I have a whole website of account addresses for interesting accounts at https://fedi.directory (you can paste these addresses into the search box to follow them). There is more info about account addresses at https://fedi.tips/whats-my-accounts-address-how-do-i-follow-other-peoples-addresses-how-can-people-follow-my-address/
