2. I still haven't figured out how to set up Mastodon.

Mastodon is so fucking hard to use.

4. I answer questions about it for free.

5. Ok. So I opened an account, but when I clicked on this link, it doesn't recognize my password.

Apparently it is because this toot is on a different Mastodon server (mastodon. lol) than the one I opened my account on (mstdn.social).

So do I have to create a new account on this server? Or is there a way to link this server to my account? There appear to be thousands of Mastodon servers, so adding them all is kinda not possible...

6. I can explain

If you want to interact with post like to boost it or reply to it then sign in to your own mastodon instance and paste the author address below into your explore/search/magnifier dialog. When you search like that you can navigate the the authors page on your own server and interact with their posts. I assume you are clicking sign in to do something more than read the post. Hope that helps. You can also go to the link above and click on the authors icon to see their profile and copy their address, see more of their activity etc. but to interact you just need to plug their address into your mastodon server search. Give it a try. If it’s still not making sense I could take some screenshots to demonstrate later.

7. There are browser extensions that

Take you to the post on your own server I believe. I haven’t looked into them

8. Mastodon Profile redirect for chrome browser

This tool from the Chrome web will eliminate the issue for you altogether. I have not tried it, but I am confident it will help you.

10. It says its for Desktop. Is there one for Android? I do my social media from my phone.

That does look helpful though. Wonder why Mastodon didn't automatically set it up with this app/functionality.

11. I'll have to..check. about to nod off

tomorrow I’ll verify that.

9. Browser extension for Firefox is also available.

I’ll be trying these both (chrome and Firefox) over the next few days.
