Don’t give Loch Ness monster 3.50.
What do you want from us, monster?!
Ignore people who start screaming insults about instances which are not their own.
If you use it in the web version, I have LULs, a script which makes all Lemmy links that point to a different instance which you encounter while browsing, to point to your instance.
oo nice!
Have fun - and invite your friends and relatives and colleagues 😎

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.

Scoop some into a cup and let it melt first, then you can safely drink it 🙂

Don’t know what that’s supposed to do when you hit the waves, but every little bit helps.
Why the hell would you?
Just use it as you would reddit or any other social media platform. Welcome.

Don’t get them wet, and don’t feed them after midnight.
No, wait. I’m confusing Lemmy with Gremlins. Nevermind.
Don’t listen to them, this is who you’re posting with

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.
Ok what even is “the fediverse” and why is it called that?
I’m here to waste time, like I’d imagine most of us are
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.
