I know people are confused about how fediverse works and how to use it. This is an attempt to compile a list of beginner’s guides made by some amazing people on this topic.

- Fedi.tips - A comprehensive guide for Fediverse and Mastodon. Useful for Lemmy aswell.
- r/KbinMigration’s Guide - Redditor’s guide to how Kbin works.
- Join the Fediverse - Fediverse Wiki
I will update this list if any new guide is made so you can save this post for later. Also, if anyone has any good guide to add post it in the comments and I’ll add it here.
Brand newb here. Do i have to join all of them with different logins or?
No, but you can interact with different instances, like how I am commenting from beehaw.org instance.
I definitely need answers for this, too.
You can’t reuse the login to difference instances, but you can interact with different instances, like how I am commenting from beehaw.org instance.
How does that work exactly? I am registered here, but want to subscribe to communities over on feddit.de It only gives me an error message on the bottom left that I’m not logged in when hitting “subscribe”.
You need to go to Communities tab, and from there subscribe to those communities. When those appear in your feed, you can comment.
You can’t directly go to those instance and comment.
Sweet, thanks! Also, my first comment in this fediverse thing, here we go!
Welcome to fediverse!
