I’m still new on this stuff but I thought a few pictures could help clear out a bit of confusion, I sacrificed technical accuracy (hopefully not too much) to make it simple. Let me know what you think.
Edit: thank you all for the kind words :)
Edit2: changed screenshots to light theme, someone said buttons are too difficult to read on dark
Thank you for this. It took me a bit longer than I wanted it to over this past weekend to spin myself up into the fediverse, but this aligns very closely with what I thought I discovered during my migration here.
