Welcome to all the people from India that are joining Mastodon in these days!!

#india #introductions and #followindia can be helpful hashtags to find other people just arrived here like you.

We understand that you are still unconfident with this platform, therefore here you will find some helpful tips to better understand how #Mastodon works:

- There is no such thing as "A" social network called Mastodon! Instead there are thousands of independent social networks called Mastodon Instances.

- Every Instance has his own server, community, rules, admins and moderation.

- Every Instance can interact with users that are on other Instances, exactly like email works (you can send an email from gmail to yahoo, right?).

- Every Instance can choose to silence or completely block another Instance (i.e. because permits bad behaviour)
