Everyone remember to be kind to the newbies, not assume that they immediately understand how the fediverse works, and not to talk about your favourite Linux distro until the second date
Teach them about beans.
And how to hold your poop in for a few days for... reasons.
I was there. In the ancient times.
Second date? I'm getting a date out of this now? Oh. Oh man. This is intense! I didn't even know she LIKED me! Wait....I don't even know who we're talking about!!!
You haven't been assigned your fediverse girlfriend yet ?
Nicole the Polish girl from Toronto is my fediverse girlfriend, damnit. Get your own.
"The fediverse chick!"
Oh good. It was just mass spamming. I was very confused when I got that same message from 3 different accounts, but it was the same message with the same links. I thought I was being targeted.
Guess I am one of the 536 newbies hahahaha!

Welcome my friend! Spread the word around. Be part of the resistance!
So, what's your take on all the Lemmy.ml drama? What do you MEAN you don't know what I'm talking about??? Is this your first day on Lemmy or something? Oh, it is? Oh.
Ignore me. I'm making bad jokes.
In all seriousness, and a nutshell, is that something to avoid? Trying to learn!
Welcome! We've been waiting for you!
Couldn't imagine a piracy community on reddit feeling good about its future.
Reddit will literally change its rules to get rid of communities it doesn't like. They did it with DarkNetMarkets.
to the new users:
Ahoy, mateys
2025 the year of lemmy
and the linux desktop
I switched fully over and am in the process of degoogling and de-microsofting my life. No more easy defaults of VS Code, back to custom configuring my emacs. No more surveillance, self-hosting and encryption. No more shitty windows gaming, Linux and Proton for gaming bliss!
With the advent of the steamOS console, you're actually correct! If it's anything like my deck it's trivial to launch it in desktop mode and use it like a normal linux desktop. This is the gateway to putting linux in front of bored kids everywhere.
My advice to newbies is to just sign up for whatever, then change later if ya need to. I think I tried 2 other instances before i found the one that fit best for me
Yep! Took two tries as well. I got banned from one because literally my second comment pissed off the mod! Im already loving Lemmy.
Drag has a friend who got instance banned on first comment lmao
Holy shit! Nice!
And haven't noticed instance specific influx but recently there are a lot of users posting/commenting that have the "baby badge" on Voyager app, meaning the account is new. Feel like this influx of new users already started last week.
Haven't been on reddit since I deleted my account during the blackouts / API fiasco and man, Lemmy/Fediverse has been fun.
YES I fuckin love the 👶 emoji on Voyager! There's been a lot more and they make me smile inside like little 🌱s on FFXIV. Do other apps have them to indicate new users?
This makes me want to switch but I'm ride or die Sync. I just manually look up the account age when I see someone spewing absolute bullshit. That icon would be helpful! How long does it last?
It's there for new accounts created within 30 days!
Not sure, but I'd also like to know. Sounds like a great feature!
Oh wow, 625 user registrations. How will we ever manage to handle such a massive influx of people?
*sigh*
Its actually a lot if they actively post and comment, or even if they actively upvote, we dont get that many upvotes in general for the top posts, even 100 would be a huge boost
