A simple way to understand federation: with one user account you can participate in multiple servers, not needing to sign up on them separately. That's literally it.
The Fediverse is inherently difficult to understand and use. Their documentation, sadly, is written as a sales pitch for the federation piece of it, but doesn’t make it simple to understand. This summary is better, but parts of the explanation still don’t make sense when trying to access content. I couldn’t figure out how to see Mastodon toots from other servers, as an example.

Improving Mastodon developer documentation
My next task is triaging and labelling issues and pull requests in the documentation repo on GitHub, with an aim to bring in as many of those existing contributions as we can. I am particularly focused on the API, and I am not currently so familiar with other topics (Mastodon server installation, administration, etc), so I'll be relying on additional help! I am aware that some of the issues and PRs have been waiting for a while, but I'll do what I can to get things improved here.

possibly already asked, is it possible to use the same domain for mastodon, email, and a website?
that said, you can achieve what you're asking but it's tricky: https://github.com/mastodon/documentation/blob/archive/Running-Mastodon/Serving_a_different_domain.md

I wish to create a server but I have questions (TOS, other options, etc.)
I recommend you go through their documentation. It's very well written. https://docs.joinmastodon.org/

Should I create a new instance for the NBA?
I honestly begin going to the Mastodon docs and reading. https://docs.joinmastodon.org/

AMA with Eugen Rochko, Founder and lead developer of Mastodon, a decentralized, open-source social media platform based on open web protocols. Ask your questions here!
https://github.com/mastodon/documentation documentations are here. I guess you can upload your documentation in the manner in the style as seen there. Although the documentation that you want is more related to code.

Twitter will remove accounts created solely to promote other social platforms
Anyhow, if you want to really learn what it is about, their docs are actually good at explaining that https://docs.joinmastodon.org/, but it is definitely too much for normal people.

Integrating Mastodon with Astro
Before I dive in too far, let's talk about microblogging and federation as Mastodon describes it. For microblogging, the Mastodon docs say:
-
Almost there - nginx doesn't have permission to the mastodon dynamic website?
The only other issue I hit was getting certbot to work. I found the answer to that little problem via an update in this GitHub issue (namely: disable the site altogether, run certbot in standalone mode, and then enable the site and update the certs section). I need to push a PR for this as well, but wording it will be a pain.

Does anyone know how to change the theme back to the normal dark mode instead of true contrast? I updated the iOS app and it changed it to dark contrast and I am unable to change it back for some reason
Looks like it got removed

Clojure Community on Fediverse
The official app is pretty good and cross-platform. I use Tusky on Android, and really like it. A couple of other tech instances are

What happens to all of the descriptive text on photos (aka ALT text)? Why can't it be viewed?
If the goal is to improve the Mastodon app to make it a better experience for all users, I'd suggest submitting an issue on the app's github page to make them aware of the issue. In my experience, opensource communities are very eager to solve problems.
- Just an Idea.

Mastodon 3.5
This was a minor hullabaloo back when the app launched.

Fedilab client - AWESOME!
I find that there are lots of Mastodon clients but whole lot of them are in the development phase, or some other apps are similar to each other. I'm reading some exchange between Eugen Rochko (founder of the Mastodon) and some user, talking about development of Mastodon. Eugen has pretty peculiar views about Mastodon and Fediverse development (https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon-ios/issues/221) and I really don't agree with him at all. There were also some open letters calling for resignation of Eugen from Mastodon development (https://seedy.xyz/posts/0005-open-letter/) .
What are some alternatives?
