I have read from Jules Verne to Blake Crouch over a lifetime. Big fan of sci-fi but if well written I enjoy most books...

Life can be interesting when sci-fi meets reality. Nikola Tesla appreciated that I think.
I'm going to go deep in to Graham Hancocks work now. He's rewriting a big part of human history right now. The man is cruising on a wave of vindication at the moment.
Ever read Terry Pratchett? Comic satire. Love his work.

I know of Prachett but never read him, l may just do that. You might like 'On the Origin of Species and Other Stories' by Bo-Young Kim. Quirky with an amazing vision of the future.

So this is like a server in Mastadon? I’m still trying to figure it all out. I assumed you just picked one server and that was that…

Mastodon is "a free and open source decentralized social network". Users join a specific Mastodon server, rather than a single website or application. In my case I built a Mastodon server (instance) that focuses on books, reading and discussions. Mastodon servers are connected as nodes in a network, and each server can administer its own rules, account privileges, and whether to share messages to and from other servers.
So as a user when you join, you can browse and interact with 'Local' posts related to books. Or you can switch (1 click) to 'Federated' to browse and interact with the entire Mastodon network and go back to 'Local' with another single click. The platform feels like Twitter but the big difference is, we all own it. And you, as a user, are free to go wherever you want including transferring your account (with all followers) to another server. Mastodon is fun and free to use.Does that help?

Yup! This is what I assumed, while I enjoy reading I don’t know if had to pick only one server that would be it. I had heard someone mention it acted like subreddits in a way so I suppose I wondered if you could be on multiple servers.

Yes, subreddits are a good example of an instance of Mastodon. But imagine if you could interact interact with all subreddits at once with the click of a button. That's Mastodon.
