I don't know about guides, but I do agree it can be a little confusing. Trying to work out what instances are and which one you should join is difficult until you understand the concept and a little about how the tech works - it's the same with the threadiverse. Realising it's like email domains is what made it click for me.
And if you personally ever decide to get into Mastodon: you're on kbin already, which federates with Mastodon and has support for microblogging, so you don't even need to do anything new - you just need to start using that functionality on kbin!
Yeah I just know a lot of people who barely understand passwords, and moving to a new platform that isn't exactly the same is going to be a frustrating exercise which ends in them staying on the old platform. It needs to look, act, and feel like twitter in all the ways they're used to for it to carry the largest group of non-savvy users.
And remember they don't read manuals or FAQs or anything, so . . maybe a viral tiktok or youtube something, I dunno.
