Resources for learning Lemmy and the fediverse?
Just joined after rif went down. Are there any good videos or tutorials for people new to Lemmy and the fediverse?
It’s pretty simple.
- Lemmy is a collection of topic-based communities.
- People share what they find interesting to the appropriate community.
- People who subscribe to the community vote up posts that are on topic and vote down posts that aren’t. They can also leave a comment to discuss the submission.
- Posts are sorted by votes/comments so that people see popular ones.
Have fun and participate as much or as little as you want.
Not to be too negative, but as a new user myself I don’t think this is helpful. These points you’ve given apply for basically any forum, it would be better if it was explained how accounts or communities work.
But that is basically it from the users standpoint. Under the hood it’s as if all of these separate forums can talk to each other and if you post on one forum it gets copied to all of the other ones.
So if you want or subscribe to something, just go to the subscribe tab and you will see all of the lemmy compatible sites even if it’s not the site you originally signed up at.
I don’t think so, but in what direction do you have questions? Glad to help where I can.
