@Gargron
Eugene, such an amazingly diverse site...can I ask a question?
Hopefully not too bothersome...I'm signed on to the main Mastodon server,but when I try to sign into other servers it gives me the message that my email or password is incorrect
Can you tell me what I'm doing g incorrectly, or what I need to do to access these other servers?

@ShellSheddy @Gargron You need to have an account with each server. But you also don’t need to log in to more than one; you can follow users from all servers.

@ShellSheddy @Gargron your account only exists on one server, but you can follow people on another server by typing their whole handle in to your server’s search bar. That’ll bring their posts onto your local server to make your timeline.

@ShellSheddy @Gargron you have an account only on the server (also known as an instance) called mstdn.social and you can not use that account to login anywhere else. but as you can see you are talking to people who 'live' on other servers rn so you dont need to 'log in' to the other servers to interact with them. Does that make sense? if you see a post on a server you want to respond to, copy the link and search for it in the local search bar inside mstdn.social and the post will load to respond
