Pffffft..... so do I now need to create another Mastodon account for this comicspace instance?

I kinda feel like if I’m gonna do it I might as well do it now before people become too entrenched in the social one and moving is more of a hassle.

@johnlees if you want to post to its local timeline then yes. remember you can follow or communicate with anyone on any instance that hasn't been banned for really bad behaviour

@johnlees How's this work?

@sgirner I dunno, trying to figure it out. When I do I’ll let you know. Also just boosted a pic with info!

@sgirner Right, for a start, just go to comicspace.masto.host and register for Mastodon over again, seemingly.

@johnlees At the main instance login site? It's not there. Just checked... ?

@johnlees ah,I get it now. Oof. Think I'll just hang here for a bit until I get the kinks worked out. I've been followed by comicspace peeps, so I guess cross-instance communication is still possible?

@sgirner @johnlees it's all very confusing but I seem to be running two separate accounts that are largely the same. One on here and one that's virtually identical on the comics instance. Not really sure what's going on but I'm keeping my options open!

@Rapiaghi @rapiaghi @sgirner Now I'm torn between thinking it's better to keep the same avatar everywhere for brand consistency, or to make my accounts more easily distinguishable by having this as my comics avatar. https://mastodon.social/media/3XqUOOHHV8lo_Eg15dQ

@johnlees @sgirner @Rapiaghi haha I wholeheartedly endorse the idea of comics avatars. I need to dig in the archives and find something suitably awful for myself.

@johnlees ugh, that's kind of annoying. But I guess I should at least snag my name there.
