This illustrated user guide is useful to understand key differences and features in Mastodon, including detailed howto information.
Mastodon is a social network application based on the ActivityPub protocol. It behaves a lot like other social networks, especially #Twitter, with one key difference - it is open-source and anyone can start their own server (also called an "instance"), and users of any instance can interact freely with those of other instances (called "federation"). Thus, it is possible for small communities to set up their own servers to use amongst themselves while also allowing interaction with other communities.
