Once you found an instance, before you create an account, make sure you get familiar with the instance rules and are okay with them. <br>
Once you found an instance, before you create an account, make sure you get familiar with the instance rules and are okay with them. <br>
Too few or soft rules could mean you're getting a lot of unwanted messages or posts on your local or global feeds.

== Creating your account ==
All you need to create an account is an email address and a password. No phone number or other form of identification. <br>
You can choose any username that doesn't exist on that instance yet. <br>
So even if someone else on the Fediverse is already called @anonymous you can still call yourself @anonymous if you're on a different instance.
Your Fediverse handle will be username@instance.domain and everybody on the Fediverse will be able to find you with that handle.
