I have written a "Guide to the Fediverse" on my Production Log. It's a little over 7200 words long, with diagrams.
I couldn't possibly cover everything, but I've tried to hit the highlights of available software, how federation works, and some of the social and management challenges (and advantages) of federated social networks.
I started writing this last year, got distracted in the middle, and then came back to it just this week. Hopefully I haven't made too many typos or grammatical errors in here.
