I decided to re-write and republish this, so the post can focus on the wider picture of what the Fediverse is.
This has been undertaken following comments / conversations on #Mastodon about people not actually referring to the #Fediverse directly, of which #Mastodon is one of many services.

Getting started is easy, if you need help please get in touch. I can be contacted on the fediverse via @zleap@qoto.org
