Confused with Mastodon account linked to the blog
-
Hi,
I am new at the Vivaldi ecosystem and in the Fediverse too. I have my main Mastodon account at [email protected]. When I created my blog at Vivaldi a few days ago, I was unsure and created a Mastodon account at [email protected] as well, though I would have liked to avoid duplications.
Is the vivaldi.social Mastodon account related to my Vivaldi blog login?
I started to configure ActivityPub for publishing and that created a kind of extra, third Mastodon account.
So if one search for me (ghrasko) on Mastodon, will see 3 matches.
How could I sort this out? What is the optimal setup? I would closely link my Mastodon activity with my Vivaldi blog.

A active ActivityPub on your blog uses a different Mastodon-Channel so people can follow only your blog posts.
Not changeable as i know. -
As you've discovered already, your Vivaldi Social account and the blog's account on Vivaldi Social are separate. There's no way to control the blog via Vivaldi Social, i.e. all posts you publish on your vivaldi.net blog get shared to Vivaldi Social and there's no way to edit them further.
The handle of the main account is
@[email protected]
The blog's handle is@[email protected]If your main account is on Mastodon Social, I'd recommend following the blog account on Vivaldi Social and promoting it, for example, by adding a link to your account's bio. Also, boost the posts whenever you publish a new blog post and respond to the blog's comments from your main account.
