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.

It’s a never ending battle to get people to quit using bad media. Never. Ending.

Yeah, the nice thing about Lemmy and kbin is that enough people left Reddit that this can work, since Reddit had a more technically savvy userbase.

Unfortunately, there is also a group that left for Squabbles, and while I do like Squabbles so far, I am mindful of the fact that the owner would like to monetize it someday. There have already been rumors of charging for API access and other questionable things.
