So, you've joined Fosstodon and are wondering, "now, how does this work?"
One thing that sets Fosstodon apart from traditional social media outlets (and some other instances) is the community's willingness to help and offer valuable feedback. This is especially true with new members.
Please don't hesitate to raise a hand (toot) and ask questions. If you prefer some reading material, @kev has written a great article to help you get started:

Hi, I have a question.
I'm new to Mastodon, I've read fosstodon's CoC and the article about "English only, please". Now what I'm not sure about is this:
If a toot in another language comes in from another instance via federated and I reply to that in the same language, is this a violation of the rules?
Thanks in advance for clarification!
Fredl.
Hi @fredl99 and welcome to Fosstodon! No, there wouldn't be an issue with replying to a toot on another instance, in another language. We just ask that you refrain from tooting, on Fosstodon, in other languages. Great question! Thanks for asking. 😀
