’ve got one …/u/lxvi and another …/u/lxvi@lemmygrad.ml

One of them on my PC. One of them on my Phone. When I first switched over to lemmy.ml I made the account once. I made it on my PC. When I signed into my account on my phone it created another instance. Same username. Same Password. Two Accounts. As far as I can tell there’s no way to abandon one for the other… If I’m on my PC it has to be on this account. If I’m on my phone it has to be the other. Same credentials.

    I think you’re correct. It was a few months ago so maybe I made a new account without realizing somehow. I didn’t realize the difference between the two servers until I noticed this issue.

    By abandon I only mean forget about. If I was unable to login to the same account on the two devices it would be difficult to abandon one. As I can login to Lemmygrad using that URL I can abandon this account in favor of the other.

    Now since I understand the issue there is no issue. I think the whole thing was more humorous than frustrating. I’ve never been in a situation where different servers worked together but remained separate, confederated or whatnot. It’s a fun issue since there’s a bit of learning involved.

    Thanks for your response. Have a great night.
