The hardest part for me was figuring out how to choose and register for an instance, and those websites have been improved since I signed up. I understood pretty easily that federated instances were linked so I could access stuff across all of them through an account on one. Choosing a client app isn’t too difficult either, just shop for features. The scene: Lemmy is full of commies, Mastodon is threatened by Threads, R.I.P. kbin, Bluesky aspires to be better Twitter. So basically, choose instance, choose client, curate feed, start posting (optional?). Did I miss anything?
