Welcome to Lemmy. I love you.

The list of apps is pretty out of date. For example, Boost already came out and [email protected] is a pretty popular extension. I use it a lot to make posts, and just used it to open that post on my instance.

Also related is how to find communities

I help with [email protected], and the idea is that you can subscribe to keep seeing more recommendations. We also have a guide for finding new communities here: https://lemmy.ca/post/5581032, which I've copied below:

A great way to find lesser known communities is to look at the /communities page on an instance. For example: https://lemmy.ca/communities

For a list of instances to look through:

• pangora.social (NEW): Great way to find instances related to a particular topic. This is also great for picking an instance when first making an account/moving accounts.
• awesome-lemmy-instances: not that organized, but it

🔎 Search pages

• https://lemmyverse.net/communities
• https://browse.feddit.de/ (run by feddit.de)

🔥 Apps and Browser Extensions

• Instance Assistant: Browser extension with tools to help you redirect & search for communities
• Voyager Migrator: Tool to help you migrate Subreddits
• More Apps: https://lemmyapps.netlify.app/

🙌 Communities for discovering new communities:

• [email protected]: You're here right now
• [email protected]: Daily posts with the trending communities from across the threadiverse
• [email protected]: Find out about new communities

Here are some other communities, some of which are less active:

• [email protected]
• [email protected]
• [email protected]

Remember, you can also post questions about finding new communities right here!

Any particular cause for this latest boost of new users? I came here when the API ban happened and am much happier with Lemmy. So welcome to everyone!

I'm laughing my ass off at old.lemmy.world whoever did that, hats off to them.

Honestly tho, if people aren't being absolute dicks, its pretty frickin' free in the speech department. I have to be conscious of it cuz I'm on several different boards with way higher standards and I don't want to be booted from them. It never hurts to be kind and fun and even a little intense sometimes.

Just afix your heart to the right place and everything's gonna be just fine. Stay excellent u lemmings!

Thanks for making the effort to host and support the community!

Ps: Boost gang! 🚀

Willkommen.

Can we get an option to hide disliked posts, please?

What is your favorite Alternative UI? Are you using it full-time or still switch back to the default one? We want to know!

I've been here a few months, but still learned quite a bit from this post - thanks for putting this together!

And welcome aboard to all the newest newbies! ...did Reddit slap its users in the face again?

Didn't know bout the desktop apps, awesome!

We appreciate you.

It reminds me when the Mastodon replaced Twitter. I did my account there, then I had trouble logging in because instances don't share the logging process. Eventually my posts were lost, now I just checked and my account disappeared.

I was using old.lemmy.world for a while but unfortunately it seems to be a bit buggy. It's impossible to make a top-level reply on any post, and upvoting/downvoting doesn't work inside a thread. It's fine when I just feel like browsing and lurking, but a no-go when I feel like the world needs to see my gem-like commentary.

big "boost" in the amount of users? What kind of dumbass stunt did spez pull again this time?

Thank you for this, welcome everyone!
