<h1>Get started with Keyboard Vagabond</h1>

<h2>Expanding what you see</h2>
|
|
<section>
|
|
<p>Keyboard Vagabond is a smaller server, and the fediverse works by sharing what each instance follows.
|
|
Larger instances may have more content visible by default, but that does not mean they are better.
|
|
You can explore other servers, create accounts elsewhere, or subscribe to users and communities so their posts show up here.</p>
|
|
|
|

<h2>Codes of Conduct</h2>
|
|
<section>
|
|
<p>While corporate media is primarily interested in the Terms of Service, the fediverse cares about the
|
|
Code of Conduct, the agreement for how we treat each other and what behavior is and is not tolerated.
|
|
Each instance should have one and Keyboard Vagabond does. These agreements help us
|
|
create welcoming spaces that are free of harassment and bigotry.</p>
