I don't fully get all the features of the fediverse, but that's okay. I'm on BlueSky, but you can follow it on the fediverse as @chriswrites.bsky.social.
I post more on that account primarily.
Mastodon is the best way to keep up with what's happening.
Follow anyone across the fediverse and see it all in chronological order. No algorithms, ads, or clickbait in sight.
