"This is basic stuff the community should provide."

I have a website full of beginner's guides for Mastodon and the Fediverse:

➡️ https://fedi.tips

If there's something the professor doesn't understand in the guide, ask me directly and will be happy to help directly. I will reword the guide if needed, as it is supposed to be as easy to understand as possible.

The sign-up flow is similar to joining any federated network such as email or the conventional telephone network: you sign up on a single provider, and that provider connects you to the other providers seamlessly.

@FediTips @ParadeGrotesque @energisch_ That's really just an FAQ. Not a substitute for a comprehensive getting started guide and explainer about the network.

It's not just a FAQ, it's a step by step guide to everything on here.

There are hundreds of pages of info on the site.
