Max Eddy More Like Max SweatyI'm going to crank out a primer on Mastodon in the next few days. My aim is to answer questions and help new users get started. I'd love to hear what you don't understand or what you learned that others could learn from!
GenoForPrez@maxeddy I think the whole instances/federation thing is a real obstacle to mass adoption as a lot of new people have no idea what the hell that is about. What is an instance, why are there different instances, why do I need to create a new account for other instances etc
Pierogi@genoforprez @maxeddy YES this. and that you aren't the same name everywhere, and your name can get taken before you sign up for another instance
