Nice to have my name back. Some day I'll tell you what happened on Twitter!
@katharinebeals yes I noticed 👋
@BronwynHemsley I thought I knew the whole story... until very recently.
@katharinebeals intriguing! (ps will you be able to put a pic on your Mastodon avi?)
@BronwynHemsley I think my photo is visible now--can you see it?
@katharinebeals both banner and your profile pic are gone now. Try on a desktop?
@BronwynHemsley Weird. I'm on my desktop now and see them.
@katharinebeals maybe log out and in or refresh?
@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.
@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 Did you get so far as to 'request an invite' button?
@katharinebeals FediScience need to approve you then you can log in to FediScience - on a different browser tab
