Thanks everyone for sharing this!
And mind you, I wrote this about Mastodon because that's what I have been using for the past nearly two years.
I also made https://jointhefediverse.net, but wanted to follow that up with what I have learned.
If anyone has a good, simple, non-technical guide for other platforms, please do share it, I would love to link to it!

@stefan@stefanbohacek.online bsky is crashing a bit right now.
Truth be told, I am looking into adding bsky support to this software too but its too different and a lot of work
