Step 2: Get Connected

Since Scuttlebutt is a decentralized, peer-to-peer network, it's up to you to decide what content to download and share. The easiest way to do this is to join a pub; ask someone you know for a pub invite! You can also follow friends directly by exchanging keys.

Step 3: Introduce Yourself! (optional)

There are lots of pubs and users in the Scuttleverse; by convention, making an introductory post to #new-people will let others find you and welcome you into the community, and the global network at large. Be kind, and happy scuttling!
