If your experience differs, please share so we can make things better.

## Connecting Manyverse to the tildefriends.net room

Open the `Connections` tab. This is from the desktop app, but mobile is similar.

Click `Done`, and you should be connected successfully. tildefriends.net is
all things: a room, a pub, and a client, so you should be able to start replicating
immediately as well as find other similarly connected people with whom to establish
further connections.

When logged into tildefriends.net, active connections it sees can be found on
the `Connections` tab: https://www.tildefriends.net/~core/ssb/#connections,
which may indicate errors if you find yourself disconnecting.
