I hate this site and don't understand how it works tbh
@mat_ Are you using android? If so, go to the play store and download 'Tusky'. It sets this place up almost exactly like original twitter was. Makes it MUCH easier. To change settings and background things you will have to log into mastadon to do it though so don't delete it, just don't use it to browse.
@Cat_Toots I downloaded it but couldnt log in so gave up
@mat_ let's see...okay first make sure you are 1) On an android device. 2) mastadon is open and you are logged in. Then, 3) run Tusky. 4) it asks you for your instance...your is mastadon.social, then 5) it asks for your username and password...right?
@Cat_Toots first time it gave me a cookie error, this time it went through
