I’m sure many new users are curious.
There isn’t explicitly a profit motive on here (unlike almost every other big social media site).
So you can do away with the clickbait-y, karma or like farming…
We don’t do that here.
Just wait until things grow. Those people will come once there is an audience to extract money from.
If you want Lemmy to be successful, contribute as much high quality content as possible so more people will be inclined to stay here. Don’t lurk.
This whole system is a lot newer than most services you’ve used on the Internet. It’s under constant change. Expect it to look different next week, month, or year.
Don’t forget to hit the CTRL button when clicking on any external links so they open in a new tab. Basically pretend it’s 2012 again.

Good information here.
- Until we have migration tools, think of your account as disposable
- Never upload anything you don’t want the world to see, no matter how private something claims to be
Can you explain the migration tools, or lack thereof.
In the mastodon/Calckey world you can migrate your account on one instance to a new account on a new instance and all the people following you will transfer and automatically follow your new account. So you don’t have to be all “Hey moving to [xyz new instance] follow me there!”
That’s something that’s in the works for kbin and Lemmy some day
I’m curious if that works with unfederated servers or servers that simple just get shutdown. Ie xyz government decides to raid the servers, (is there redundancy in the data?)
