Welcome!

Lemmy lacks a bit in the ability to help guide people to communities, but PieFed does much better in that regard. Even though you don't have an account on it, check out https://piefed.social/topics anyway to get some ideas of what you may want to join.

Welcome Connor!

If you ever need help on Lemmy, feel free to comment here or send me a message privately!

Lemmy moves a little slower than mainstream platforms, but it's not a bad thing! You can try exploring new communities from a variety of instances and see what you like.

If you have any interests or hobbies you feel like sharing, that might help people guide you to communities you'll want to participate in.

Cheers!

Welcome!

What kind of stuff are you into? There are a lot of cool communities so it's hard for me to pick one to recommend :)

I also recommend this guide (full context, I helped write parts of it): https://fedecan.ca/en/guide/threadiverse/finding-communities

I love to visit !foxtrot@slrpnk.net and !calvinandhobbes@lemmy.world. There are also a bunch of wholesome communities like !lemmybewholesome@lemmy.world and !NiceMemes@sopuli.xyz, and the opposite of that like !imgoingtohellforthis@sopuli.xyz 😁. But you do you boo:-).

Welcome

Browse all to find comms you like, and browse it different ways; top, hot, new, and especially scaled. Scaled it the best for finding niche stuff. It's like top, but it's calculated using the size of the comm too. So 10:100 is weighted as much as 100:1000.

Hey Connor, I’m also starting on Lemmy but I have a bad habit to be a Lurker on social media.

Lucky me and really grateful to you, you did this post just in time because I still don’t get a thing here even when I’m coming from reddit and wasn’t sure where to start.

Hope we both find our place here, again thanks and hope you are doing well.
