Read a community’s rules before posting or commenting. Take this community, for instance:
- Not regarding using or support for Lemmy: context, see the list of support communities and tools for finding communities below
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.
Honestly, I’d just suggest in engaging with any topic you enjoy. Comment, find communities you’re interested in, maybe even start your own.
Welcome! Lemmy is a great place.
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.
There is only one real user here. Everyone else (including myself) is a bot.
You’re the real MVB
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
All I can see is there is a stick figure humping the letter h in the last word.

Also play settlers of catan
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
Post feet
feet content on lemmy do be lacking tho
Just use it as you would reddit or any other social media platform. Welcome.
explore different subs that catches your interests
Check out [email protected], we have some pinned posts. You can also ask questions as you get them :)
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.
Sorry, you can’t delete your comment if they choose to disallow that. That’s common on lemmy. That’s why you’ll get downvotes on poorly written comments you give up on and delete.

Please show me a single case where that actually happened.
Do you want to test it with me? I can make a few different accounts on a few different instances if you’re willing. I’ll make a few comments on a few posts and delete them.
I had one specific time someone quoted me like you did in a comment, but it was something I had deleted a long time ago. The time stamp on their comment was too recent to have seen my comment. I tested it a few times after that. If I can find the comment chain(s), I’ll link them. I comment a lot on lemmy, so I’d have to dig a bit.
Stay true to your heart.
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!
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!
I gots sharp teeth I tell yah
Don’t give Loch Ness monster 3.50.
What do you want from us, monster?!
