@BronwynHemsley Will try. Also I can't find @UTSDisability

@katharinebeals start typing @utsdisability into your search bar, maybe your instance is not federated with mine

@BronwynHemsley Perhaps that's the problem. Nothing auto-fills or comes up when I type it in.

@katharinebeals also join Fediverse?

@BronwynHemsley How do I join? (Sorry, totally new at this).

@katharinebeals google ‘fediscience’ and sign up

@BronwynHemsley Now I'm having password issues.... Waiting for a reset.

@BronwynHemsley Super frustrating. I seem to have to log back into Mastodon in order to reconnect via an external Google search. Password not recognized when I do that. Tried resetting. Never got a reset email (many users report similar experience). Luckily I seem to be still logged in to my group (aka server? instance?) via original password. I don't dare log out till this is resolved. If there's some way to join your group from my group, that might work.

@katharinebeals FediScience need to approve you then you can log in to FediScience - on a different browser tab

@BronwynHemsley Possible to submit a request for approval from within @learningdisabability? I.e., without having to go out and log back into Mastodon?

@katharinebeals just do it on another browser

@BronwynHemsley Pretty sure it'll ask me for my password, but I'll try.

@katharinebeals 1. Apply to be part of the fediscience server. 2. Get confirmation email. 3. Get approved. 4. Then you can log in.

@BronwynHemsley Thanks. New obstacle: I keep getting "please match the requested format" errors with various variations of:katharinebeals@fediscience.org

@katharinebeals did you get an email saying you are approved yet?

@BronwynHemsley Haven't gotten that far. Still on Step 1. Maybe I'm doing Step 1 incorrectly? (I'm trying to replicate what I did for my current group).

@katharinebeals are you on this page to register first? https://fediscience.org/about

@katharinebeals you have to sign up and get approved before you can sign in

@BronwynHemsley Yes, that's where I am.

@katharinebeals I mean fediscience.org

@katharinebeals when I start typing in the search bar it finds and then Iselect the guppy - does yours?

@BronwynHemsley no, nothing happens. I had trouble finding you as well--had to type your entire handle. Perhaps there's some setting I need to change.

@BronwynHemsley Have logged in on a new browser. All looks good from here.

@katharinebeals works now I can see it!

@BronwynHemsley If I type @UTSDisability, should something come up? I'm not seeing anything.
