New people! Time to tell you more about the Fediverse :fediverse:

Mastodon is just one kind of server on a much bigger network called the Fediverse. Many of the people you follow on Mastodon aren't on Mastodon servers.

Servers on the Fediverse use a common open technical standard called ActivityPub. This means people on different kinds of ActivityPub-compatible servers can follow each other.

For example the photo account at https://pixelfed.social/Iancylkowski can be followed at @Iancylkowski

Try it!
