So I signed up to Mastodon a few months ago and I have only started to use it more recently, but I still don’t understand how it works. Or the server system on here.

Apparently I must have joined a server when I set up my account? I don’t remember joining a specific one (or even know how you join one 🤣)

If somebody could explain this to me in everyday English that would be great.

@Saraheboon You join a server which is a club of people that is run by the server host. You can choose which server (club) you want to join. You can get to know people on your own server. Your server will communicate with other servers but may sometimes block other servers if they break your servers rules for example by posting racist content
