@pixelfed getting this error while trying “mastodon.social”. Is that server not currently supported? I’ve “Stop Testing” and re-joined.

@paulhulford it’s expected: you are trying to connect to Mastodon with an app made for Pixelfed :)

@Deuchnord I was assuming that due to both being built on ActivityPub it would log on. I thought when I was using Vernissage App I logged in with my Mastodon credentials

@paulhulford both are ActivityPub-enabled, indeed, but they also have their own API that allow more flexibility to use their specific features
I’m not sure how Vernissage connects to Mastodon, but it might actually be a very lucky bug (iirc both API are similar but not entirely the same, because Pixelfed has specific features that Mastodon doesn’t have, like publishing the location of the publication)
