@Gargron why cant my follows be accepted here? it goes to the other account instead?

Eugen Rochko Dec 6, 2016

@Pttr1 I don't understand

Potter House Dec 6, 2016

@Gargron when i follow somebody, they dont stay on this account but they go to my other account on Mastodon instead, unless they followed me so it stays here.

Eugen Rochko Dec 6, 2016

@Pttr1 I am still really confused about what it is that stays/goes. Maybe links or screenshots or examples?

Potter House Dec 6, 2016

@Gargron ''a follows X and b gets the result?'' a+b joint account? for X sake? I just let in the fans to my other account thru this current one, i cant say it on a screenshot too well.

@Gargron cutie.space is not mastodon is what i am saying

@Pttr1 cutie.space runs mastodon and i can see your messages just fine from mastodon.social idk what you're talking about

@Gargron I cant follow from Cutie.Space therefore my Home TL is empty. It transfers the followed to Mastodon.Social, another account i own.

@Pttr1 from cutie.space, enter [email protected] into the search bar, click on the suggestion that comes up, click on follow. Does that not work?

@Gargron where is the 'search' bar? Oh there it is..sorry!

@Gargron just found i was already following you from the 'other account' so i unfollowed and refollowed, now check it.

@Pttr1 is @cajun you? So why did you follow me from mastodon.social?

@Gargron @cajun I did not, this is the issue i'm trying to FIX.

@Pttr1 No one else seems to be having this problem including @nanoha from your instance, which is why I suspect that you're just doing something wrong or misunderstand something :T

@Gargron @nanoha same email probably.

@Pttr1 @nanoha E-mail is not exposed in this process at all so I doubt it

@Gargron @nanoha are you sure, so how do they ''relate'' then?

@Pttr1 @nanoha well your full username is [email protected] (where you are right now) and e.g. your other account is [email protected]

@nanoha @Pttr1 (Pttr1 I mean, typo)

@Gargron @nanoha correct.......

@Gargron @nanoha have you checked her email use?

@Gargron @nanoha even if the email was partly similar it does it again.

@Gargron I can confirm that I don't understand the issue @Pttr1 reportedly has.

Perhaps @Pttr1 doesn't understand how federation works?

@nanoha @Gargron what is this fucking assertion, you mad as well?

@Pttr1 @Gargron mad? no. I'd like to understand the problem you're having and help you solve it.

@nanoha @Gargron Think of it as diverting a follower to another Instance.

@Pttr1 @Gargron what you're describing, so far as I know, cannot happen

if this instance isn't managing to follow people, that's a different issue

@nanoha @Gargron yes, and? do you own a Mastodon.Social account?

@Pttr1 @Gargron yes. it works like any other mastodon.social account.

@nanoha @Gargron Well did you use the same email for both accounts, or even similar ones? Cos i did.

@Pttr1 @Gargron No.

I could.

But it would make no difference either way.

@Pttr1 @Gargron Well, they are “similar”. Both emails are on the same domain.

@nanoha @Gargron CITE AN EXAMPLE

@nanoha @Gargron ah, so you cheated a bit, but how would you know therefore it would not make a difference? The domain aint it, the email has to rhyme a bit.

@Pttr1 @Gargron It shouldn't make any difference either way. Mastodon doesn't care about similar email addresses, it treats them as opaque identifiers like any other service.

@Pttr1 @Gargron Moreover, so far as I know, emails have no impact on federation anyway.

@nanoha @Gargron Mastodon doesnt care, but it screws accounts.

@Pttr1 @Gargron Does it?

Can you actually show this supposed behaviour in action?
