everyone is trying to explain instances and no one is making sense.

a Problem.

@glitzandshadows i'm confused, it's not that much of a problem as much as it's just a new thing to people

i assume you understand it but just in case not, basically instances are quite literally different servers, like slack, discord, etc. people can join them and mastodon has the tools to remote follow others across instances without having to sign up for that specific instance, per se

hopefully that helps?

@glitzandshadows let me know if that makes like, zero sense and i can try to break it down haha
@ryanlittlefield BUT I also think that as people migrate over things will smooth out. It just feels overwhelming as it stands.
