and yet i still dont know how to use mastodon
What are you struggling with? Look for a server (that isn't mastodon.social) that fits your interests, sign up, browse the local or global timeline, follow interesing people, have fun!
You know people told me to do this with Lemmy and I ended up choosing a lemmy.ml . I found out later I guess that’s the Antichrist and I shouldn’t have done that. What’s the best way to understand what server is kosher?
Haha, o no. Mmmmh, I would go around server lists (heard good things about https://fedi.garden/ ) and then look at the public timeline of a server and also at the server rules. I did this for finding a new Pixelfed instance a few months ago (didn't find anything I liked) and it was interesting to see if people had just pasted the standard rules (kind of a red flag for me, personally), wrote some bs like "be nice to each other" or had taken care of thinking about this.
