A message to new users - Lemmy.world

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 [https://lemmy.world/legal]. 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 [https://lemmy.world/post/37906]. It should cover most of your questions. STILL HAVE QUESTIONS? You can head over to the [email protected] [/c/[email protected]] [https://lemmy.world/c/support] 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 [https://lemmy.world/u/quinten] recently made a post covering the most recurring questions there too. Read about that here [https://lemmy.world/post/4505404].
