A guide to Fediverse terms:
"Toot" = Post, named after Mastodon's mascot 🐘
"Boost" = Sharing a post, re-blog, re-tweet
"Instance" = Server, the place where your account is
"CW" = Content Warning, a feature where people have to click a warning to read a post
"Birdsite" = Twitter/X
"Vanilla Mastodon" = Standard Mastodon without any customisations. Some servers are customised to allow longer posts or other extras.
"Alt" = Someone's alternative Fedi account
Any other words need translating?
