    Read a community’s rules before posting or commenting. Take this community, for instance:

    1. Not regarding using or support for Lemmy: context, see the list of support communities and tools for finding communities below

      Why does this rule exist?

        Because other more specific communities exist for that.

    Honestly, I’d just suggest in engaging with any topic you enjoy. Comment, find communities you’re interested in, maybe even start your own.

    Welcome! Lemmy is a great place.

    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.

    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.

        Sorry, you can’t delete your comment if they choose to disallow that. That’s common on lemmy. That’s why you’ll get downvotes on poorly written comments you give up on and delete.
