Saw a post on here yesterday that massively clarified how to view Mastodon in a way that I kinda wish someone had pointed out back when I first joined.
When you invite someone to join Mastodon, invite them to join your server, to interact with the good people there. From that server, they can then interact with other people.
I (and presumably many, many others) saw it ass-backwards at the start, by having to pick a random server to be able to access the wider Mastodon service.
