What is an "instance" and how do I join one? Should I join one?
@ljpg You have joined one! It's an individual server hosting a version of Mastodon. Your account is on the octodon.social instance.
@howfar Oh! Ok. I will stay here then, I guess!
@ljpg Good news. :) It seems nice. The terminology around Mastodon is a bit opaque - but then think of the bafflement that people first experienced about Twitter...
