@Resulka @awesomonster @richardgoodness anyway, mastodon.social is the flagship instance - there are tons of instances out there (I run awoo.space with a motley crew) - mention people from different instances you just type @<username>@<instancename> - the username space is unique to each instance, so people can potentially have a different handle across networks, or the same handle can be different people!

@richardgoodness @awesomonster @Resulka otherwise it's very similar to twitter, with the main client being like tweetdeck.

I recommend checking out https://joinmastodon.org - there's a lot of good tools there, and it's an official source for jumping in!

@Resulka @awesomonster @richardgoodness pretty much! it's not *too* confusing once you get used to it

@Resulka @awesomonster @richardgoodness I think literally yesterday I recommended your youtube channel to someone actually, so it's kinda funny you joined the day after :P

@Resulka @awesomonster @richardgoodness "Oh, my Goodness"

@Resulka @awesomonster @richardgoodness I was evangelizing about it early on and one of my friends told me to shut up so I left twitter almost permanently at that point lmao

@Resulka @awesomonster @richardgoodness I posted about switching over a ton T_T

I considered deleting my account but that felt extreme.

@Resulka @awesomonster @richardgoodness Ginny McQueen made a neat intro guide for little bits about Masto: http://www.ginnymcqueen.com/how-to-mastodon/

She runs the kitty.town instance.
