  • Newcomers? Sorry I have been asleep for a few days.

    Also… dark chocolate digestives please!

    • Newcomers? Sorry I have been asleep for a few days.

      We saw a noticeable uptick in sign-ups around Trump's inauguration (which was unexpected as we aren't exactly US focused) and, while it has settled down, we are getting more than we were getting before. So I've been talking to the other Admins about improving on-boarding and a welcome community seems a good idea. Only the other day we had someone post an introduction in a new community and have to be redirected, which wouldn't happen as much if we had a dedicated welcoming community and now we have.

      Also… dark chocolate digestives please!

      Of course, we're not animals.

      • Ahhh nice! Thanks for the details. Good idea, Welcome to newcomers!

        I’ll get out the posh m&s chocolate rounds then!

      • No no no, you have forgotten the mythical dark chocolate hobnobs.

        I can't believe there is even a debate on the matter! 😆

  • Repinning this as we've had a lot of new sign-ups because Reddit shat the bed again.

    If you are new feel free to start a new thread in this community and say "hello", especially if you have questions as it'll be easier for everyone else to spot and chip in their twopenneth.

  • Hi all, I'm new to feddit from Reddit as they are talking about putting up more paywalls for certain content/subs, so I am looking at other alternatives; I'm on iOS.

    Is there a feddit that you can ask questions about Feddit, like r/NewToReddit

    Is there a Feditt to ask if there are existing feddits, like r/findareddit?

    Is there a Feddit to discuss Feddit Apps?

    Can I edit/change my username?

    Sorry for all the edits & questions, I'm like a kid in a sweatshop, this Voyager App is the closest U.I. to Apollo for Reddit & it feels like I'm using Apollo.

    I've brought some Hobnobs with Chocolate on…

    • I’m like a kid in a sweatshop

      Genius.

    • Is there a feddit that you can ask questions about Feddit, like r/NewToReddit

      As you are new you are welcome to ask here (you can start a new thread which would help get more focused advice) but, as well as flamingos' suggestions, I suppose !asklemmy@lemmy.world or !asklemmy@lemm.ee would work - they are general communities where folks can ask questions.

      I think flamingos has covered the rest.

      I’ve brought some Hobnobs with Chocolate on…

      You'll fit in just fine.

      edit: scratch that, just go with flamingos' suggestions which are now in the community sidebar.

      • Don't ask support questions in !asklemmy@lemmy.world, per rule 5:

        This is not a support community.
        It is not a place for ‘how do I?’, type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

    • Welcome friend! Happy to have you here.

      Just a note on terminology, but subreddits are called communities here (hence the c/ in the url), not feddits. Also, the software this place runs is called Lemmy, so most places discussing it will have Lemmy in the name not Feddit. For questions about here there's !newtolemmy@lemmy.ca or !lemmy_support@lemmy.ml, but feel free to ask questions here or on !feddituk@feddit.uk and people will normally be happy to help (including myself).

      Is there a Feditt to ask if there are existing feddits, like r/findareddit?

      !findacommunity@lemmy.ml or you could ask in !communitypromo@lemmy.ca which is more active.

      Is there a Feddit to discuss Feddit Apps?

      !lemmyapps@lemmy.world. To find apps https://join-lemmy.org/apps has a list of apps with filters for platforms. I'm not an IOS user, but I've heard good things about Mlem.

      Can I edit/change my username?

      You can't change your username, but you have a setting called 'Display name' which can be changed and will be what shows up in most places, e.g. my username is flamingos but my display name is flamingos-cant which is the name you see.

      Sorry for all the edits & questions, I’m like a kid in a sweatshop, this Voyager App is the closest U.I. to Apollo for Reddit & it feels like I’m using Apollo.

      I don't user Voyager myself, but I've heard it very good. Certainly can't go wrong with it.

      I’ve brought some Hobnobs with Chocolate on…

      Trying to curry favours with the admins I see. It's working.
