Toot me up, buttercup!
Mastondon is a self-hosted / open-source microblogging platform (heavily inspired by Twitter), which supports federation, rather than centralization. Like email, any user on any Mastodon instance can follow, "toot" (not tweet!), and reply to any user on any other instance.

Our community Mastodon server is sooo FKNY, but if you're already using Mastodon on another server (or your [own instance][mastodon]), you can seamlessly interact with us from there too, thanks to the magic of federation!
!!! question "This is dumb, there's nobody here"
* Give it time. The first time you get a federated reply from someone on another instance, it just "clicks" (*at least, it did for me*)
* Follow some folks (I'm [funkypenguin@so.fnky.nz](https://so.fnky.nz/@funkypenguin))
* Install [mobile client](https://joinmastodon.org/apps)
How do I Mastodon?
- If you're a [sponsor][github_sponsor], check the special
#mastodonchannel in [Discord][discord]. You'll find a super-sekrit invite URL which will get you setup instantly - If you're not a sponsor, go to FNKY, and request an invite (invites must be approved to prevent abuse) - mention your [Discord][discord] username in the "Why do you want to join?" question.
- Start tootin'!
So who do I follow?
That.. is tricky. There's no big-tech algorithm to suggest friends based on previously-collected browsing / tracking data, you'll have to build your "social graph" from the ground up, one "brick" at a time. Start by following me. Here are some more helpful links:

- Reddit thread #1
- Reddit thread #2
- Reddit thread #3
- Reddit thread #4
