Hey gang! I am really trying to understand how to use Mastodon and I seem to have accidentally set up two different accounts on two different servers. Can I post from either one?
@benjaminahr Yes you can have multiple accounts. Some people do that to separate work and personal, etc. You can also migrate one account to the other
@mikey That is interesting. Would a post show up on both 'servers' if I merged?
@benjaminahr Unfortunately no. The merg just tells users on one server that you've moved to another server. So they will automatically pickup your account name from the new server and follow it. It's meant more like a change of address form.
@benjaminahr A lot of apps allow multiple accounts, do you know which app you're using?
@mikey @benjaminahr Mike is your best source in FODs for info like this I think. (nods to Captain) but this site also has some great info: https://fedi.tips/ as well as their account here, @feditips

@howiecohen @benjaminahr @feditips Feditips is excellent. Also take a look at the FoD specific wiki:

I've tried to cover the basics there.
