@gawrsh We all started at some point, and are in the journey, there's always more to be learned if we are open to it, so you are on the good path!
I hope you found a good guide to get you started, as I did (via a Bing search) - I only joined the Fediverse on November 9 last Year or so.
You might not need it anymore, but I just recently laid down at did a careful read of the Guide I always recommend here. My conclusion is, that it's still a great one, I haven't found a better guide, and I used to search for them. To complement my knowledge and to have references to recommend to others.
This is the one :
"If you are new to using Mastodon, there's a good guide here: https://lifehacker.com/a-beginner-s-guide-to-mastodon-1828503235 "
I am thrilled that you are taking these recent Blog posts and discovering the wonder of finding new and unknown, unexplored places to see -- as I do love that as well.
Before that, I had been in many other places over time, and even wrote some blog pages telling the stories (I love story telling, and have a good amount of memories to use).
For reference, when you have a quiet time and want to relax, those are informative and related to Fediverse and what came before it.

@gawrsh And thank you so much for your comment -- which inspired this reply above, which as I wrote I knew was prime material for a Blog post.
Made it - will prepare an announcement tomorrow, but you can see it at : https://write.tedomum.net/rgx/reading-suggestions-for-a-fellow-netizen
