I’m so torn on this. Huge fan of the original, but excited to see what they do with it. Hope it comes out good.
If you want a community with training wheels and is open to general discussions, come say hi. Its a place where you can work past the fear of being downvoted or insulted. You are welcome here. 😀

In my move over to lemmy I got nostalgic for how some older things were done, what you might be talking about are FAQs for specific topics like we had in the Usenet days. If this interests you, I have a new community started for collecting and creating those kinds of things. Not much there yet but I’ll grow it over time and would love for others to contribute.

And a shameless plug for my other community https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/c/bbses
how do we federate (connect) to peertube instances from lemmy? does it show up on our lemmy feeds?
Thanks for sharing! If you’re going to take the plunge (I plan to in the future) feel free to start a post and update it with your adventures.
I'm sure someone will post the specifics of how to initiate a search and "link" your instances, I use a browser (mobile and PC) on the Lemmy site and click communities to see what's "connected/federated". In the interim as someone else also adjusting to the change, remember to give it time. Its a newer medium and most of us are just coming here flooding it. It will grow and improve and "connect".
I think we all have to get used to the withdrawal from being force fed SO much information and garbage that the fear of missing out and small quantities of content are creating cyclical anxiety. Am I doing this right? What am I missing? where is my content? Why is there not more content? Am I doing this right?...etc.
Good Luck, Welcome! and I'll save this message as well to come back and see if there has been a clear way described.
Thanks for joining and posting! Yes this shake up with Reddit has led me to rekindle the old love for the rough edge of free networks. I’m excited to try all the “new” options and explore some of the older options modernized. Possibly start a new bbs as well but with modern options to old systems. I also ran a bbs back in the day with other locals and even a school sanctioned one, right around the time “freenets” we’re becoming a thing and e-mail/Usenet we’re just taking off. Not sure, for now I’m enjoying the exploration!
How about, instead of calling people bootlicker, we suggest the person reevaluate their position and give them a chance to adjust their perspective. People tend to entrench themselves in their opinion when attacked. There isn’t any excuse for a person to lose their freedom because another wants to “make a point”. Sorry not poking anyone deliberately, just the dozenth or so post I’ve read that has been aggressive rather than educational. Lemmy is supposed to be better, we can keep it better together. Have a good day
