    Welcome!

    Lemmy instances are in the middle of transitioning to a new version (0.19.x). It’s been a bit bumpy. You might notice some changes once this instance upgrades. We’ve been holding back until we’re confident that the new version is stable.

    If you need to contact the admins you can message us directly. Or, for a faster response, get into our instance’s Matrix chat: https://matrix.to/#/#sh.itjust.works:matrix.org

    Hey, welcome, glad to have you here!

    The one difference to keep in mind is that each community (the subreddit equivalent) and each server (the equivalent of a ‘site’ like Reddit) have their own sets of rules and mods. So when you post to a server that’s not your home, just be aware you are subject to those sets of rules in addition to your home server. You should be fine for the most part if you act with empathy and respect, but no need to take it too hard if a mod informs you that you broke a rule.

    Lastly, don’t be afraid to post/comment in niche communities with a small amount of activity, but it’s a good idea to do a community search (under “All” filter) to check if a more active community is present on another server.

    Have fun, I’ll see you around!
