@Janis Hello, and welcome to Qoto.

Enjoy the network and all it has to offer. If you are new to using Mastodon, there's a good guide here: https://lifehacker.com/a-beginner-s-guide-to-mastodon-1828503235

We also have another new users guide, posted here : https://write.tedomum.net/rgx/suggestions-and-guidelines-for-new-users-written-by-mastodon-art-administrator

And yes -- there are people all over the world using the Fediverse network. Even here at Qoto itself, just one of the many instances in the net, we have people from many, many different countries.

Any questions, just ask. These guides above are very helpful I find. 😺
