Hello! I'm new to this instance and to Mastodon. Would like to know what exactly a federation is and what being on this site is like (=^_^=)

@nerthos I think I'll be using this anytime I try to recruit more people into Mastodon and the like
@yourlocalimouto Just one thing: Mastodon is just one of the like 8 different software options compatible with the network, despite gagron's attempts to market it as "the mastodon network"
Feel free to make accounts on several servers and try the different options to see which you like most. There's no limitation on alternate accounts.

@nerthos That's a relief, I'd been wondering if I was only allowed to have one singular account
@yourlocalimouto @nerthos you have up to three accounts if you get the gold subscription
@hakui @yourlocalimouto @nerthos
What about the Platinum subscription?

@hakui @easthighNerd @nerthos you're losing me here.. I'll just assume soykaf is another instance and you need to pay for three (and a half) more accounts
@nerthos @easthighNerd @hakui I see. Must be nice to show off an account to people who can't sign up haha
You don't need to pay for anything, though you can donate to several of the fedi software projects if you want
