Have fun and try to engage. Download an app for your phone. There are multiple per os so try them all and choose what suits you best
I use voyager app, unsure about other apps or website, but check if your able to easily block users. Instances and communities, I usually scroll through the all free and block things I just can’t stand and are heavily just annoying, also has a ability to filter out keyword. Makes my browsing less depressing.
Don’t eat yellow snow.
find some pictures of cute animals and share them with us
Use a trusted VPN and/Tor while surfing
Don’t get them wet, and don’t feed them after midnight.
No, wait. I’m confusing Lemmy with Gremlins. Nevermind.
Goddamn it, you’re only telling us now??? 😁
Totally. That’s why mine e.g. is much better
Just use it as you would reddit or any other social media platform. Welcome.
I found that using All to subscribe to things I like and over time using my subscribed list works.
You can also block communities you don’t want to see and view All by default.
Watch out for those radicals over on the Hexbear instance. They’ll getcha!
I gots sharp teeth I tell yah
Check out [email protected], we have some pinned posts. You can also ask questions as you get them :)
Read a community’s rules before posting or commenting. Take this community, for instance:
- Not regarding using or support for Lemmy: context, see the list of support communities and tools for finding communities below
Each Lemmy instance also has its own site-wide rules.
There is only one real user here. Everyone else (including myself) is a bot.
You’re the real MVB
Honestly, I’d just suggest engaging with any topic you enjoy. Comment, find communities you’re interested in, maybe even start your own.
Welcome! Lemmy is a great place.
Learn about the fediverse as much as possible! Learn about instances and check our their about bar/ page. Download a mobile application and explore the many options you have. Try to figure out why you want to be here. Check out the list of popular instances (a lot of the instances have esoteric names) and see if there’s an instance that reflects your interests. Check what they’re federated to, and decide if those are the kind of people you want to talk to/ share your interests. There are general instances like ".ml and .world. " These instances can become overburdened. The account you have on their instance is your access to the rest of the fediverse/ lemmy.
Our active user base is somewhat small. The biggest thing is to explore, read side bar rules, and post!
It’s a lot of information, and when I first got into it, I felt over my head.
ALSO YOU CAN’T DELETE YOUR COMMENTS OUTSIDE OF YOUR INSTANCE.
Posting to 196 would be a good example.
ALSO YOU CAN’T DELETE YOUR COMMENTS OUTSIDE OF YOUR INSTANCE.
Yes you can. But just as is true with posting and editing, sometimes a deletion will fail to federate to all instances. No federation action is guaranteed, but rather best effort.
