Y’all I want to find people in the Black Twitter instance (is that the right word) but every time I try, Mastodon tells me I have to log in again and then doesn’t accept my login. Help!

@austinchanning This is the clunkiest thing about Mastodon!

If you are looking at someone's profile and the URL starts with "blacktwitter.io" then anything you try to do will ask for a login. :/

How to proceed will depend on what app/website you are using.

Since I use the web, I copy paste the profile url "https://blacktwitter.io/@username" or their handle "@[email protected]" into my search bar on robot.rodeo and follow them from there.

it is very clunky, and I have done it so many times it's automatic.

@mike there should be an "open profile in frame" button that puts your own instance above it so you can take actions based on what's displayed. If it's a profile, follow; if it's a toot, reply or boost.
