As a result, our instance https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/ got 625 new user registrations (of which 536 where accepted) in the past 24 hours! And the registrations are not abating even now. We still get like 10 new ones per hour!
I suspect this is probably the largest advertisement, for lemmy specifically, since the main reddit blackouts 1.5 years ago.
Have your own instances also seen an influx of new users?
Please, don’t take this the wrong way, seriously:
I find that quickstart entirely useless. How to create communities is already pretty self explanatory, as there is a button for “Create Community”. The same goes for Search.
I think an image/infographic with things like “how to link users?”, “how to link communities?”, is much more useful, as there are no quick ways to find that out, i.e., no buttons.
No worries, you make a good point.
For your question, this post https://lemmy.world/post/8505771 is probably better (from [email protected] )
[email protected]
That’s how you link communities. As long as that community is [email protected]. See how the second time it wasn’t a link? You need the !
for me the other useful thing would be mobile apps. I use jerboa
https://github.com/LemmyNet/jerboa
it’s also available on the play store
On Voyager, one is a mailto link hehe.
On Connect it’s a lemmy.world user called batman. (The first link works properly.)
Makes sense as the app has no way to know if it’s an email address or not
