Hey, welcome to all you lovely people! Nice to see you!
If you want help with using Mastodon and the wider Fediverse, feel free to ask
I also run a website at https://fedi.tips which has lots of easy-to-understand non-technical guides for new people.
There is no such thing as a stupid question, it is 100% fine to ask about even the most basic thing that you're unsure about.
You can ask by mentioning me, replying or messaging. (And yes I am a human being
I don't use LLMs or AI. )@FediTips Yes. Excuse me, sir. I don't know much about correctly setting up Mastodon. I just used the Firefox autofill feature to connect to a server on my new phone. This wasn't my first server. Should I change it back, or can I keep using these settings and this server?

Thanks.

Do you mean you signed up on another server by accident?
It's up to you whether you use the new server or go back to the old one. You can use both if you want, but most people just use one account.
Do you want help with signing in on the old account?

If you have an example of this it might be easier to see what's going on?
Usually you can see an entire thread by just clicking on a post and it takes you to the thread it comes from, but there isn't usually a message like that at the end.

@FediTips I just tried to send a link to one like I’m talking about. However, when I pasted it into a browser to make sure I got the right link, then the “Show this thread” is not shown. Now I’m suspecting this is something Mona is doing, although I don’t know why. I’ll try to ask them.

If that's the case, it's probably a feature of Mona which is trying to remind people that the post is part of a thread.
On the web version of Mastodon there isn't a message like that, and people sometimes don't notice a post is part of a thread.

@FediTips The new one seems fine to me. I guess I'll stay here. And maybe delete the old one or keep the both? I don't know. What would you recommend?

Whatever you want to do out of those options is fine. Whatever you find easiest

@FediTips I do have a question I didn't ask earlier. Why does my profile have Finland followed? I don't recall I edited that. What happened?

I have no idea, sorry! I've never seen that before.
You can edit your display name in your profile to remove that.
