I'm curious, what part was confusing?
For me, the biggest challenge at the beginning was finding people to follow, but a number of Twitter followers have moved there (to different instances) which are easy enough to follow.
I think my Twitter use case was more or less the same (forum and RSS), I think the RSS aspects are still a bit weak since there are large segments of my twitter follows missing, but it does seem to be improving.
Going from 1 massive global chat board like twitter, to little siloes was supremely weird. It wasn't intuitive that I couldn't log in with my @mas.to account to follow someone on @whatever.social because the UI and site looks exactly the same..
