Ahead of July 1, should we try to make a guide for redditors on how to use Lemmy? (programming.dev)

I'm new myself but took the time to learn the platform. I'm not sure other people will have as much of an interest, so I'm just wondering if it would be a good idea for some of the old hat people to post some tips for people coming over from reddit.

This is a good idea. I tried to make one for my instance here but I think it's not a great guide.

It covers the main draw, which is subscribing to communities you want to follow. That's super important!

Thanks, it is a pretty inobvious process unfortunately. Hopefully Lemmy will make it more clear in the future. Even 0.17 => 0.18 improved the UI a lot, but there's still a long ways to go.

At Lemmy.ninja we wrote a FAQ that we're keeping updated. We keep it pinned to the top of every community right now. We don't worry about getting the philosophy of Lemmy across; we instead focus on all the things that made us scratch our heads when we first tried to use the platform.

Check it out here.

This is a great resource. Thanks!

Not mine, but I found this page to be very thorough https://tech.michaelaltfield.net/2023/06/11/lemmy-migration-find-subreddits-communities/
