The Newcomer's Guide to Mastodon, from a Crusty Old-Timer
Perspectives on wading into the deep end of the pool with Mastodon, from a guy who's been on the network for 15 years.
Are you thinking of trying out Mastodon, but feel intimidated by the options? Don't worry, we wrote a comprehensive guide to help you!
-
I feel like you gloss over what instances block each other.
-
@RobotToaster You know, that's fair, maybe I should add a section on how to check who blocks who?
-
@RobotToaster Added a new section towards the beginning, telling people to check the server details and read what policies are towards particular instances. Thanks for the tip!

I wish instead of more mastodon guides we got guides to pleroma/akkoma or misskey/calckey. Other projects could use more written about them, to help users and get some name recognition. Even if its nearly the exact same guide, publishing material for some of the other projects could help break the idea that mastodon is the fediverse.

@0x1C3B00DA Yeah, I'd be more than happy to do that. Usually, when a new platform pops up, I try to review the ins and outs with it in screenshots.
