I’m sure many new users are curious.
This whole system is a lot newer than most services you’ve used on the Internet. It’s under constant change. Expect it to look different next week, month, or year.
Agreed. The systems are being flooded from the migration. Communities are quickly being formed. A little patience and people rolling up their sleeves to make it better go a long way.
On lemmy, you can tick off ‘show read posts’ in settings, so viewed posts are hidden.
When you submit a reply or a post, always save it to your clipboard first. Lemmy has swallowed my responses many many times. In fact, it took me about 5-6 attempts to submit this comment.
Filter by New so you don’t see the same few posts every time to open Lemmy.
- Until we have migration tools, think of your account as disposable
- Never upload anything you don’t want the world to see, no matter how private something claims to be
Question: is there a way to save posts or comments?
At least on my instance, you can click the three dots under the post to open up some expanded options, then click the star to save the post.
On Jerboa, there should be a little bookmark icon under each post.
Yes of course. In the web app there’s a little star icon you can click and on jebora theres a little badge next to the vote buttons
There isn’t explicitly a profit motive on here (unlike almost every other big social media site).
So you can do away with the clickbait-y, karma or like farming…
We don’t do that here.
Just wait until things grow. Those people will come once there is an audience to extract money from.
If you want Lemmy to be successful, contribute as much high quality content as possible so more people will be inclined to stay here. Don’t lurk.

Good information here.
go to <insert lemmy instance url>/communities/listing_type/All/page/1 to find communities.
Join a kbin instance and also join a Lemmy instance. Neither one is very stable yet (kbin has only been out a couple months) so I suggest using kbin until it starts having issues then switching to Lemmy for a while.
Aren’t they cross compatible? I’m still fuzzy on the differences. Also lemmy instances were getting hammered, (as it looks like the kbin are too now), so thus my choice of kbin.
The downtime is getting better though. I made this kbin account like 2 days ago and logged off right away cuz I was trying to figure out magazines and each time I clicked something, it said I was not logged in and I had to relog.
Today I’m trying it out again and everything is working, though sometimes I get a 503 error if I try to open a page or post something
