    I’m new here coming from Reddit.

    Yalls subreddit needs links to here. And a short guide on getting started.

    I had to scroll a bunch of comments to find the right name to Google. Then I had to find the most popular app to use. It was a bit of a hassle. Not too bad. But enough to be off-putting to newbies.

      The benefit is also it’s curse. It’s all open, so there can be a bunch of names and a bunch of apps. Nobody agrees what the best app is.

      But once you get your own ecosystem set up, it is amazing.

      Which is a huge hurdle for new people 😬

      Please tell your friends to join LemmyWorld (biggest instance) and install the app Voyager (cross platform support) to get started on the platform!

          I just thought that LemmyWorld would be the easiest to get started from Reddit as it has the least discoverability issues with Lemmy communities.

            For the vast majority of active communities, they should be discoverable from lemm.ee as well. It’s the second most active instance, chances that someone looked up that community is quite high.
