## Fediverse 101

This is my short description and links collection for entry to the Fediverse.

### Getting Started

- **Intro video**: [Fediverse Introduction](https://videos.elenarossini.com/w/64VuNCccZNrP4u9MfgbhkN)
- **Quick start guide**: [Fedi Tips](https://fedi.tips/)
- **List of instances**: [Join Mastodon](https://joinmastodon.org/servers)

### Self-Hosting (Mastodon-compatible API services)

- **[Pleroma](https://pleroma.social/)** - What I host. Good for up to ~100 users on your instance
- **[GoToSocial](https://docs.gotosocial.org/)** - Great for 1+ person instance
- **[Mitra](https://codeberg.org/silverpill/mitra)** - Like GoToSocial but written in Rust
- **[Full Mastodon](https://docs.joinmastodon.org/admin/prerequisites/)** - Scales to thousands, but is heavy if you don't have a lot of users

### Mobile Client Apps

**Android:**
