@splash730 Hello, and welcome to the Fediverse!
Will pass you some links I use for new users at our instance -- the first Guide is the one I used when I joined here, very good.

Enjoy the network and all it has to offer. If you are new to using Mastodon, there's a good guide here: https://lifehacker.com/a-beginner-s-guide-to-mastodon-1828503235
We also have another new users guide, posted here : https://write.tedomum.net/rgx/suggestions-and-guidelines-for-new-users-written-by-mastodon-art-administrator
Casey Rollins made a video to explain the Fediverse, here :
"I made this video awhile back to help explain how the #Fediverse works."

Thanx Rob, much appreciated 👍
@splash730 And -- if you ever want to consider a better instance, Qoto has good features, come and visit.
Like huge posts being allowed, 65 thousand characters maximum, I love it. The 500 characters maximum at many instances is unusual and cruel punishment imo.
