how do I join one of those gay instances, idk how to use this site
@boobs_idiot are there straight instances? I think a straight person should be allowed to toot, but I have trouble imagining it, anatomically speaking.
@boobs_idiot go to instance start page, type in email and name and stuff, click sign up, confirm email address, donezo
on some you need an invite though
@boobs_idiot You join other instances the same way you joined octodon.social. It gets easier once you stop thinking of Mastodon as "this site" and remember that it's a whole shitload of sites that mostly talk to each other.
