Stay true to your heart.
Don’t give Loch Ness monster 3.50.
What do you want from us, monster?!
Nah you’re doing fine
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 😎
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
find some pictures of cute animals and share them with us
Don’t eat yellow snow.
Scoop some into a cup and let it melt first, then you can safely drink it 🙂
Watch out for those radicals over on the Hexbear instance. They’ll getcha!
Crazy hexbear goobers will remove your eyes before you know it, watch out!
I gots sharp teeth I tell yah
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
Goddamn it, you’re only telling us now??? 😁
Totally. That’s why mine e.g. is much better
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.
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.
Read a community’s rules before posting or commenting. Take this community, for instance:
Each Lemmy instance also has its own site-wide rules.
Why does this rule exist?
Since there are other communities more fit for these kinds of questions
Because other more specific communities exist for that.
Use a trusted VPN and/Tor while surfing
Why the hell would you?
Don’t know what that’s supposed to do when you hit the waves, but every little bit helps.
