    Mastodon documentation (by mastodon)

  • The Fediverse is inherently difficult to understand and use. Their documentation, sadly, is written as a sales pitch for the federation piece of it, but doesn’t make it simple to understand. This summary is better, but parts of the explanation still don’t make sense when trying to access content. I couldn’t figure out how to see Mastodon toots from other servers, as an example.
