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 ?

#mastoTips

Welcome to all the recent #firstpost Mastodon arrivals!

Some tips to help you get started:

1. Share a post with your interests & the introduction # to let us know what you're about

2. Pin your intro post to your profile, as an extended bio.

3. For more traction ( boosts) add alt text descriptions to all your images.

4. Add a profile pic and fill in your bio page, so we know you're not a bot
