ninjaweddingIf you're from Twitter: hello, and there's a handy app at https://mastodon-bridge.herokuapp.com/ that can help your Twitter friends find you
Arc0re_@ninjawedding whats my host name? I can't seem to log in with Mastodon
@Arc0re_ for a mastodon.social account, your login would be [email protected].
(the reason for the extra domain part is that there's many instances of this software on the Web and they communicate with each other to various degrees)
@ninjawedding Oh I see, thanks. I like the idea of having multiples instances of Mastodon too
@Arc0re_ yeah, it's definitely nice to not be tied to a central service! Migration is still a bit tricky, but there's now an import/export thing that can smooth out some of the bumps.
You might have already seen icosahedron.website, awoo.space, social.tchncs.de, and then there's other implementations of the underlying OStatus protocol elsewhere. here's a partial list: https://social.guhnoo.org/

@ninjawedding Oh thats cool. It would have been even cooler to be able to log on all of those with the same account (you can't do that, right?)
@Arc0re_ not as far as I know -- to make that happen, you'd need something like all OStatus implementations to support OpenID or some other standard authentication protocol
@ninjawedding just making everyone agree on an auth protocol sounds like a hell of a task :p
@Arc0re_ yeah, absolutely
