How does Mastodon work? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

So recently learnt about Mastodon, thought I will just try it!

However, I have never used Twitter (ahem, sorry. “X”). I don’t really understand how it all works.

I have followed a few communities/people but all I see is single chat-messages with no replies beneath it and couldn’t really see about what it is unless it’s specific said in the sentence.

Could someone try to explain it a bit, a shorty summary or redirect me to somewhere it is already explained?

Note: I’m using Mammoth app for iOS, for Mastodon.

People have already tried to explain the idea behind Mastodon. If you are also looking for an overview of how Mastodon "works", please have a look at https://fedi.tips/.
