An EXTREMELY Simple Guide to Mastodon (for when someone says it's too complicated to catch on)

A community dedicated to fediverse news and discussion.
Fediverse is a portmanteau of "federation" and "universe".
Getting started on Fediverse;
Some instances have built in auto translation these days, works quite well in my experience.
But if language filtering works everywhere except when following hashtags that sounds like a bug and you should probably see if there is an issue for it on the Mastodon bugtracker, and if not make one.
I haven't seen any with auto translation. I have seen ones with a translation feature but, presumably to conserve resources, it only does it after you click the button, which makes it most pointless, in my opinion.
