Connecting Manyverse to the tildefriends.net room

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

Open the Connections Panel.

Use the Add Connection button at the bottom right to open the dialog to enter a connections string to add a new connection.

Copy the tildefriends.net room code from https://www.tildefriends.net/~cory/room/.

Paste.

On mobile especially, make sure the full text is pasted without modification.

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.
