This is a very white space. All POCs need to recruit fam
@Lexialex Are you talking about octodon.social or Mastodon as a whole?
@starbreaker *whispers* they’re not the same thing?
Safe to say you mean both. And you are 100 percent correct on it being super white.
Instances are like email servers. You are on Octodon.social. Mine is Kitty.Town. (this might help? it's a how-to https://medium.com/@GinnyMcQueen/toot-how-to-intro-to-mastodon-e5655bfa87d2)

@GinnyMcQueen @starbreaker I lost you at instances
@Lexialex @starbreaker @GinnyMcQueen I found out about this after joining as well! The link is a great summation of Mastodon. Instances are groups under the Mastodon umbrella, so there's no one Mastodon location like Twitter or Facebook. I think using hashtags will allow us to communicate and connect with anyone using Mastodon in any Instance/group. @CobaltVelvet runs this group and looks to be doing a pretty good job! https://octodon.social/about/more
@webistrying @Lexialex @starbreaker @GinnyMcQueen @CobaltVelvet In my experience, this isn't something you need to think about much. Instances can have their own rules, and sometimes following someone is more technically awkward than it should be, but that's about it in terms of how decentralization affects daily use.
