What is the easiest way to get started as a user on a federated social network?

I glanced at Mastodon when information started flowing about it but I was (and am) supremely disinterested in running / moderating my own node. But I'd be interested in joining someone else's node. What does that look like these days?

You could also check out Pleroma; Mastodon isnt the only microblogging software on the fediverse

Pick a server: https://joinmastodon.org/

I'm afraid I don't see what you're seeing. What is the issue?

How do they ensure that server passes these requirements, especially 2 and 3?

Its pretty easy, just pick an instance of mastodon to make an account on and off you go
