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.

The thing is though, you'll feel more of a resonance with the artists you follow that do move over. It's just a matter of patience.

Well, one of the artists who did is actually one of my best friends (arsbin@mastodon.art), but my other best friend seems to want to stay on the former birdsite 😂

Give them FOMO. At this point, the only people that are staying there are corporate shills and people with no vision. Remember when hipsters used to claim to have known about something years before everyone else and everyone else was like, they literally made the song two days live on a YouTube stream. Well tell your friend to come and be a hipster!

This is a terrible advert for mastodon 😭
