@geraineon Sure does. Thank you. I won't ask you to explain federated servers in plain English because, I believe like water flowing uphill, its not actually scientifically possible.

@geraineon I promise I am not trying to be a jerk to @feditips who has been nothing but patient with me. I am simply a little tired of the culture around the fediverse (which @feditips is not the mayor of or something) that perceives its mores to be elementary and logical and then neglects to follow basic rules of elucidation in explaining them.

@feditips I went to the article featuring the very nice collection of groups you linked to. I found a group I liked. I hit "join" at which point it asked for my mastadon handle which I entered at which poitn I had joined.

@feditips (2/2) "what account? What topic? Where?"

Starting like so

"Following groups centered around certain topics (gardening, Lion taming) on mastadon is an easy process. Here's how"

1. Use the following tool to find groups that interest you

Tool link"

2. Enter your mastadon handle at which point the following will happen

or alternatively

3. If I group names comes though via your mastadon feed do this.

@feditips Try this in plain, human-centered English please. This clarifies nothing.
