How does Mastodon work? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

So recently learnt about Mastodon, thought I will just try it!

However, I have never used Twitter (ahem, sorry. “X”). I don’t really understand how it all works.

I have followed a few communities/people but all I see is single chat-messages with no replies beneath it and couldn’t really see about what it is unless it’s specific said in the sentence.

Could someone try to explain it a bit, a shorty summary or redirect me to somewhere it is already explained?

Note: I’m using Mammoth app for iOS, for Mastodon.

For single comments that you don't understand, the best course of action is to actually click into the comment and it will show what they are replying to. Kind of like Twitter, but backwards. Does that make sense?
