    Ignore people who start screaming insults about instances which are not their own.

      Couldn’t imagine being mad someone is using lemmy the way they want. Isn’t that the point of the fediverse? For us all to make it our own?

    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.

    If you use it in the web version, I have LULs, a script which makes all Lemmy links that point to a different instance which you encounter while browsing, to point to your instance.

      BTW, do you know why are there so many forks of Greasemonkey? What happened to the parent project?

    Find communities you want to see on here and subscribe to them. If you just go through home feed then it’s mainly politics and tech news.

    I found that using All to subscribe to things I like and over time using my subscribed list works.

    You can also block communities you don’t want to see and view All by default.

    Don’t get them wet, and don’t feed them after midnight.

    No, wait. I’m confusing Lemmy with Gremlins. Nevermind.

    Read a community’s rules before posting or commenting. Take this community, for instance:

    1. Not regarding using or support for Lemmy: context, see the list of support communities and tools for finding communities below

    Each Lemmy instance also has its own site-wide rules.

    • @[email protected]

      Why does this rule exist?

      • @[email protected]

        5•7 days ago

        Since there are other communities more fit for these kinds of questions

      • @[email protected]

        Because other more specific communities exist for that.

      They lure you in with their neat thematic icons and ordered structure, but they’re all MANIACS there! Every last one of them!

    Honestly, I’d just suggest engaging with any topic you enjoy. Comment, find communities you’re interested in, maybe even start your own.

    Welcome! Lemmy is a great place.
