Mike HindleSo I set up an account on Pixelfed yesterday. Now there's another one of me on here also?
Was I supposed to use my already existing Mastodon account to log in?
If so, can I merge the two accounts, somehow?
So confused 🤣

Each server is totally independent, so when you sign up on a server your account is just on that server.
When you signed up on mastodon.social, that gave you an account on mastodon.social.
When you signed up on a Pixelfed server, it gave you an account on that Pixelfed server.
You can follow and interact with people on other servers, more info at: https://fedi.tips/what-is-mastodon-what-is-the-fediverse
I know it seems confusing but there are important reasons why it works like this: https://fedi.tips/why-is-the-fediverse-on-so-many-separate-servers
