====What is Mastodon?====
 
Two types of interfaces: Basic one and extended one like Tweetdeck
Local timeline shows posts by ppl from your local instance
for themed instances this timeline will be mostly about the theme then
federated shows "known" ppl:
ppl that other follow, boost or searched for
search
you can use hashtags
you can search for @<username>@<domain> even across services like @foo@open.audio for following an account of funkwhale on mastodon
profile
top left corner shows indication whether user is already following you
notifications
settings (top right corner)
display categories: Differs between replies, favs, boosts, reminders, ppl follow you
user preferences
tip: not crop images (cropped by default)
normally just shows a part of the image in the home timeline
advanced interface
multiple columns like on tweetdeck
you can "pin" new columns
you can also combine multiple hashtags together in one column
in v4 of mastodon: you can follow hashtags
====What is the Fediverse?====
lemmy: like reddit
friendica: like facebook
peertube: youtube
pixelfed: instagram
funkwhale: soundcloud
bookwyrm: goodreads
writefreely: simple blog
wordpress: can be made "fediverse-compatible" by plugin
all fediverse systems and instances can communicate via a common protocol called ActivityPub
look & feel of posts from the different services don't differ in the UI of mastodon for example
====What is BookWyrm====
Example instance: bookwyrm.social
there is no federated/local feed, just your home feed
can upload books or select some from the catalogue
you can add your status about the book (started reading, stopped readinge etc.)
you can leave reviews about books
You can view the same info if you e.g. follow the bookwyrm account on mastodon
