I like this a lot. Using lemm.ee isn’t mandatory, as you can choose “pick another server” the moment you try to comment. For a moment I was wary that this would just send everyone to 1 instance.

You are not logged in. If you use a Fediverse account that is able to follow users, you can follow this user.

The userbase here is quite technical so there are many of you able to contribute.
As a project manager, I can help by ballooning the scope and setting the deadline to yesterday! Doing my part!
Good point. I don’t have all the answers to this predicament, but I think most of us agree that we need to improve on the onboarding experience.
I agree, but people (read: instance owners) might disagree who gets to be seen up top and who won’t make that cut.
It’s a tough dilemma in itself, I will say. In the end, I think we should move this part of the joining experience until after new users are familar with the software.
So new users land at “lemmy.noob” or something, and when they are ready to spread their wings, they can choose the things I showed above to go and find the right home for them.
join-lemmy.org already has this in a way:
5·10 days agoI saw this method on a Lemmy post some time ago. The website linked had an “ad blocker” that wanted me to go to powershell and run some command. I can’t find it anymore (I suppose the whole thread got nuked by admins/mods, so thank you) but it’s nefarious.
Yes, and if you join a German-speaking instance as a non-German speaking user, the experience will also be subpar. Hence I talked about content, not language.
9·10 days agoIf the instance admin is inactive, then it might be best to switch instances, yeah.
If that was a legitimate issue, MMO’s (which also often have servers the player needs to choose) wouldn’t have the userbase they do. Nor would Email have taken off.
But in an MMO, you still get the same content no matter what server you choose. Over here, it directly impacts what content you can interact with based on (de)federation.
This keeps coming back from time to time. imo we need an instance or method to sandbox newbies.
My old comment:
A custom feed that allows new members to see a variety of the best that Lemmy has to offer would be a good start. Then, when they are comfortable with the platform and its dynamics, they can customise it further, or swap the newbie feed for their own custom filter (which practically would come down to community subscriptions, I suppose?)
Now instead of making this comment very long, I’ll put in an video game anology to make it a bit more digestible:
What we need is a tutorial area that showcases all the different things that the Lemmy endgame has to offer. Creating memes, sharing news, the art of shitposting, being a lurker, actual discussions vs just scrolling to see the funnies: all these things are enjoyed by different types of people, and before they can reclass and enjoy the wild open world of Lemmy, it would be good for them to get comfortable with the controls and settings in a relative safe space.
Try opening the article!
The FromSoftware spin-off to its incredibly successful epic will be out on 30th May 2025 across PS4, PS5, Xbox consoles, and PC (Steam).
First revealed at last year’s The Game Awards, Nightreign is a standalone online co-op game for three players, but with hints of Fortnite.

8·12 days agoA mini fusion drive, perhaps?
The person on reddit used a third party cable instead of the one supplied with the device.
https://www.reddit.com/r/nvidia/comments/1ilhfk0/rtx_5090fe_molten_12vhpwr/
It melted on both sides (PSU and GPU), which indicates it was probably the cable being the issue.
12VHPWR is a fucking mess, so please don’t tempt fate with your expensive purchase.
75·13 days agoHaven’t seen a game that uses ads like this, but very good that it’s strictly prohibited now. That shit should never have taken off on mobile, but alas. At least we can prevent it on PC.
3·15 days agoThere is for me. When hitting play it prompts 2 options, one is to start from the beginning, the other is to go to the live timing
OP, your answer is in this thread
