Hello World!
The last week or so we have seen quite a big 'boost' in the amount of new users signing up so we thought it would be a good time to highlight some things that are of interest to new users.
CODE OF CONDUCT
Lemmy World is not a free speech instance, there are a couple of ground rules that need to be followed. If you're new, I would advise you to read our Code of Conduct.
NEW USER QUESTIONS
If you are new to the fediverse as a whole, it might all be a bit overwhelming. What is Lemmy? What is federation? What even is an instance? For those questions I would suggest you have a look at the getting starting guide. It should cover most of your questions.
STILL HAVE QUESTIONS?
You can head over to the [email protected] community. This community should be used for questions regarding Lemmy World and is not the support community for the Lemmy software this site uses.
Our Admin @quinten recently made a post covering the most recurring questions there too. Read about that here.
ALTERNATIVE USER INTERFACES
Lemmy World hosts a few custom User Interfaces which give you a completely different experience both on the desktop as on mobile.

There are a lot of Third Party apps available for Lemmy. From Paid to Open Source, you will find something that suits you easily.

EDIT: Updated the apps list. Also some more interesting links in @[email protected]'s post here: https://lemmy.world/comment/3962001
EDIT 2: Instead of https://photon.lemmy.world you can now just go to https://p.lemmy.world. You can thank @[email protected] laziness for that.

Welcome to ~~lemmy~~ Costco. I love you!
Lmao, I couldn't help myself.. but seriously welcome everyone. lol
Are they actually saying that? Greeters in a supermarket is a concept that I as a European never understood but this is ridiculous.
Lol no.. well not yet.. have you seen the movie Idiocracy? It's a hilarious movie that moves closer to being a documentary than it does a comedy, every day. Lol
There is a scene about Costco and how it's no longer just a mega shop center but also a university where you get your law degree and way more.. lmao. The greeters at Costco (in the movie) say welcome to "Costco, I love you." And it's quite funny.
Idk if my link worked... so here it is. https://youtu.be/Z8zNsUTWsOc?si=plbGJXzRSsV8ZZrr
Love you too
