New users are confused! We’re so used to being corralled into a corporation’s walled garden that we don’t know what to do when the wall is removed. Luckily, the answer to people’s questions is actually really simple.

Mastodon is part of a larger federation of apps that all talk to one another. Think of it like a bunch of towns and cities connected by roads. You might hang out in the “Mastodon suberbs”, but you can easily hop into your car and visit your friends over in “Plemora-town.”

When millions of new users began migrating to Twitter due to Elon Musk’s horrendous behavior, the non-profit that develops Mastodon rushed their still-being-designed “official” application out to meet the needs of their users. But, this app is still “early-access” and it’s missing a lot of key features. But, that is okay because you don’t need to use the official app to enjoy everything that Mastodon, and the whole “fediverse” have to offer!
