Apparently there is now a genuine "Mastodon For Dummies" book:

➡️ dummies.com/article/technology

It's a real physical book, it's in bookshops and libraries! Depending on where you live, it's out now or out this week.

I haven't read it (yet) but the index seems promising and it even mentions non-Mastodon Fediverse platforms including lesser known ones like @inventaire

(Thanks to @technomancy for highlighting this release!)

This line of books used to compete with the '...for the complete idiot' line.

The best one I ever saw was 'Professional Wrestling For The Complete Idiot.' Even once outside the Waldenbooks, I couldn't stop laughing!

Maybe there's a library or ebook copy available near you, or via interlibrary loan. Save money, see if it's worth buying, then maybe buy and later donate your copy to a local Little Free Library or similar... ✌️

@feditips @inventaire @technomancy I could have used this in 2017, Mastodon was confusing at first. I am going to see if my library has it.
