Hello World!

The last week or so we have seen quite a big ‘boost’ in the amount of new users signing up so we thought it would be a good time to highlight some things that are of interest to new users.

CODE OF CONDUCT

Lemmy World is not a free speech instance, there are a couple of ground rules that need to be followed. If you’re new, I would advise you to read our Code of Conduct.

NEW USER QUESTIONS

If you are new to the fediverse as a whole, it might all be a bit overwhelming. What is Lemmy? What is federation? What even is an instance? For those questions I would suggest you have a look at the getting starting guide. It should cover most of your questions.

STILL HAVE QUESTIONS?

You can head over to the [email protected] community. This community should be used for questions regarding Lemmy World and is not the support community for the Lemmy software this site uses.

Our Admin @quinten recently made a post covering the most recurring questions there too. Read about that here.

ALTERNATIVE USER INTERFACES

Lemmy World hosts a few custom User Interfaces which give you a completely different experience both on the desktop as on mobile.

THIRD PARTY APPS

There are a lot of Third Party apps available for Lemmy. From Paid to Open Source, you will find something that suits you easily.

For a complete list of apps have a look at https://lemmyapps.netlify.app/ (Thanks [email protected]).

EDIT: Updated the apps list. Also some more interesting links in @[email protected]’s post here: https://lemmy.world/comment/3962001

EDIT 2: Instead of https://photon.lemmy.world you can now just go to https://p.lemmy.world. You can thank @[email protected] laziness for that.

    I never had mods just out right insult me although after making a post on r/holup which got 700 upvotes before getting the post getting closed down by mods I did get an private message from a new user which was a bit iffy can’t remember the exact message this was 8 or 9 months ago or smth like that I think I must’ve pissed off an mod on r/holup to a certain extent for them to look for any slip ups which there were plenty off

          Well, somewhere along the way there was a misleading influence there.

                What the hell? If you suspect that I’m an language learning model or any other technical gizmos for whatever reason then why don’t you search through my posts and comments

                punctuation and grammar isn’t my strongsuit although I’m trying to improve it so any tips and tricks would be nice I’m also using the jerboa app on android and I’m not the best at typing on my phone

                    I do read admittedly not often enough I’m currently reading Lord of the flies by William Golding I wouldn’t mind picking up the john byne variant of I have no mouth and I must scream as said grammar isn’t my strongsuit
