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
The name for a specific Mastodon server is an instance -- a very programmer-jargony term. (Yeah, it's very tech-bro, here. We welcome and crave diversity!)
Just as I can be bob@gmail.com and bob@hotmail.com, your Mastodon server is octodon.social, and nobody else _on your server_ can have the Lexialex username... but someone could create the same username on kitty.town.
The How-To that Ginny linked to you is a great resource, and feel free to ask for any clarification.
