[NFB-Mastodon] Getting Started with Mastodon

[Patrick Wilson]

As for choosing an instance:


Instances are all over the place. Like art? Want to join one for your 
local community (if it exists?) Like tech? etc...


You can check out instances.social <https://instances.social> for a cool 
wizard that can help you choose an instance based on interests, location 
etc.


Hope this helps!
