# Introduction to Pleroma
**What is Pleroma?**
## What is Pleroma?
Pleroma is a federated social networking platform, compatible with GNU social, Mastodon and other OStatus and ActivityPub implementations. It is free software licensed under the AGPLv3.
It actually consists of two components: a backend, named simply Pleroma, and a user-facing frontend, named Pleroma-FE. It also includes the Mastodon frontend, if that's your thing.
It's part of what we call the fediverse, a federated network of instances which speak common protocols and can communicate with each other.
One account on a instance is enough to talk to the entire fediverse!

## I got an account, now what?
Great! Now you can explore the fediverse!
- Open the login page for your Pleroma instance (for ex. https://pleroma.soykaf.com) and login with your username and password.

At this point you will have two columns in front of you.
***left column***
### Left column
- first block: here you can see your avatar, your nickname a bio, and statistics (Statuses, Following, Followers).
Under that you have a text form which allows you to post new statuses. The icon on the left is for uploading media files and attach them to your post. The number under the text form is a character counter, every instance can have a different character limit (the default is 5000).
If you want to mention someone, type @ + name of the person. A drop-down menu will help you in finding the right person. :slight_smile:

**Mastodon interface**
## Mastodon interface
If the Pleroma interface isn't your thing, or you're just trying something new but you want to keep using the familiar Mastodon interface, we got that too! :smile:
Just add a "/web" after your instance url (for ex. https://pleroma.soycaf.com/web) and you'll end on the Mastodon web interface, but with a Pleroma backend! MAGIC! :fireworks:
