(edit) - Answered by @sexy_peach@feddit.de below. Thanks!

I created duplicate accounts (same username as this one), one here on lemmy.ml and another of the same account on midwest.social. This was before I understood how Lemmy works. Now I’ve deleted the account on midwest.social and want to login there with my federated account from lemmy.ml. However when I try to login it just sits and spins.

Will I be able to login to the other Lemmy server with this account? Do I just need to give the other server some time before it wipes out the account completely?

I have verified that the other server is federated with lemmy.ml:

    @DarraignTheSane @sexy_peach in case you still don’t understand stand how it works here is how I think about it. The server communicate with one another just like email this enables on server to be able to see and interact with everything that is public on the other server. There are some issues with content not being distributed perfectly so some stuff might not appear. Hope that help your welcome to message me if you have any questions.
