I can't find a signup button anywhere.

You gotta find a Mastodon instance that you'd like to join then go to their main page then sign up there. Keep in mind some instances have closed registrations or registrations where you send an application that can be accepted or rejected.

https://fosstodon.org is an instance for FOSS enthusiasts and could be a good starting point. I'm assuming you're a FOSS enthusiast because you managed to make your way to Lemmy 😋

Thank you for taking the time to write that and pointing me to the fosstodon instance! I just got my account there :)

I even found a mastodon.social entry in my password manager from x years ago. I guess i had a better experience back then on how to sign up. I really struggled this time. I guess things don't get easier the older you get.
