Make others on here feel good where possible, respect all and have fun.
Leave the forced controversialism to the red alien.
Welcome. 🫱
I really love seeing how friendly and welcoming people here are. I hope we can keep this attitude as the user base grows bigger
That’s the spirit!
You may find confusing how there could be at the same communities (subreddits) with the same name in different instances. You can use the Lemmy Community Browser to find communities easily among different instances.
You’re posts are visible from other Fediverse sites, like Mastodon or Kbin and you can interact with their users.
An user or an instance can block users or instances. If you have an account on lemmy.world and the instance admins blocks another instance you won’t be able to see the posts or comments made from their users.
Is there anything in particular that you want to know?
To add to this great advice: lemmyverse.net. Fantastic way to find your favourite - or totally new - communities.
Thanks for the link! Was wondering how to look for new communities without having to search in the communities search option on lemmy.world itself

- All I can say to that.
Please do not spend three days without pooping
It’s not very different than Reddit. Either browse communities or browse all posts and try to discover communities you like.
Might I suggest you download and install wefwef (which was renamed to Voyager recently)?
Wefwef/Voyager is a progressive webapp or WPA. You don’t install it from an app store, but install from within any browser. It’s much easier to navigate Lemmy with wefwef/Voyager, but there are more clients that you could try as well.
How not to poop for three days
It’s worth comparing similar communities on different instances to make sure you find the most active group.
Not the most active! The most fitting to your needs. If you dont like the instance, then dont go there! Search for the most comforting Community and MAKE it active by contributing to it!
I mean, at the moment I’ll just take most active. I believe in the idea of the fediverse giving us multiple communities for different vibes of talking about the same topics but for now I’ll just take having communities that are a bit more active
Yeah everyone their thing :)
Eventually it may grow to that point, but right now if you want content you just go for the biggest one.
Are you familiar with the fediverse ? You can interact with people and communities on different instance the same way as you can sent an e-mail from hotmail to gmail.
Instances are managed by individual and non profit. Just-like big social media, they can decide to turn-off an instance (remember google plus ? ) for whatever reason, and your MPs are on that person server (again the same as big social-media, that’s even their business model). A coll thing is that if you have 5 shady person and 95 honest person it’s still better than a big social media which is 5% dishonest with everybody (and I’m sure you’ve heard enough about threads and tik-tok being spyware to know that big-social media are more than just 5% dishonest), but use common sense regarding cyber-security (don’t use Lemmy’s MP for sensitive informations)
Even though the project has been existing for a few years, we’re all pretty new here, so we don’t know much more than you.
That’s pretty interesting, thanks.
Stop talking about Reddit!

Quickest way to get you up and running is to find the equivalents communities on here to the ones you liked on Reddit (assuming you are a Reddit refugee) and sub.rehab is probably the simplest to use. Don’t worry if there are duplicates, subscribe to them all.
That tool actually looks really useful (yes I’m from Reddit), thanks.
I list a couple more here.
