Join the Federation?

I am still trying to figure out this whole Mastodon thing, as Elon Musk is apparently bound and determined to wreck Twitter for reasons of ego, and it would be really nice to still have working social media.

For the moment, I've got a shiny new account at @edschweppe@masto.ai - which, if I understand things correctly, is the magical string one pastes into the search box on a federated server running Mastodon in order to "follow" said shiny new account.
