- Not regarding using or support for Lemmy: context, see the list of support communities and tools for finding communities below
- Not ad nauseam inducing: please make sure it is a question that would be new to most members
- An actual topic of discussion
Looking for support?
Looking for a community?
- Lemmyverse: community search

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.
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
Stupid sexy gremlins
Goddamn it, you’re only telling us now??? 😁
Totally. That’s why mine e.g. is much better
Watch out for those radicals over on the Hexbear instance. They’ll getcha!
I gots sharp teeth I tell yah
Crazy hexbear goobers will remove your eyes before you know it, watch out!
Can’t watch out; they gots m’eyes!
They lure you in with their neat thematic icons and ordered structure, but they’re all MANIACS there! Every last one of them!
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.
Ignore people who start screaming insults about instances which are not their own.
Couldn’t imagine being mad someone is using lemmy the way they want. Isn’t that the point of the fediverse? For us all to make it our own?
There is only one real user here. Everyone else (including myself) is a bot.
All I can see is there is a stick figure humping the letter h in the last word.
Very cool image! It looks like there’s some text on it. Would you mind responding to this comment and telling me what the text says?
Nice try, bot
You’re the real MVB
Don’t eat yellow snow.
But do wiz on the electric fence.
Scoop some into a cup and let it melt first, then you can safely drink it 🙂
Have fun - and invite your friends and relatives and colleagues 😎
find some pictures of cute animals and share them with us
Use the ‘scaled’ sort for your frontpage. Helps keep the smaller communities you sub to from getting totally drowned out by some of the larger ones.
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.
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
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.
BTW, do you know why are there so many forks of Greasemonkey? What happened to the parent project?
oo nice!
