Hey new people! 👋
A guide to some Fediverse terms:
Toot = Post (named after the Mastodon mascot, in theory)
Favourite = Like (there's a separate Bookmark function if you really want to keep track of posts)
Boost = Re-Tweet, shares a post with your followers
Instance = Server = The site you signed up on, each server is independent
Birdsite = Hellsite = Twitter
Fediverse = This place you're on right now, reading this. Mastodon is one kind of server on here, but there are many other types.
