Created duplicate accounts on two Lemmy servers (lemmy.ml)

(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:

Don't beat yourself up, it's complicated. I remember how lost I was when I first joined facebook years ago ^^
