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.

    Yeah, the nice thing about Lemmy and kbin is that enough people left Reddit that this can work, since Reddit had a more technically savvy userbase.

    Unfortunately, there is also a group that left for Squabbles, and while I do like Squabbles so far, I am mindful of the fact that the owner would like to monetize it someday. There have already been rumors of charging for API access and other questionable things.
