why ysk: especially if you’re a new user it will help you understand the different projects, their goals, and how the projects interact with each other. It’s really easy to understand and an excellent starter guide to the fediverse. Check it out here
Good shout I’ll go check it out
Coincidentally I was looking for something exactly like this earlier with no luck. Appreciate it.
This is really good, thanks.
However as a newcomer I thought I’d share some additional questions I still have, in the hope others have them too and a FAQ might be developed.
My questions are around finding content and communities. I’m essentially trying to set up a decent feed for myself like many free reddit.
- how do you follow a topic (rather than a person), reddit-style?
- what does all the talk on instances federating and defederating mean?
- is it normal or expected that you join multiple instances to get your content? I’m juggling a few, because I can’t work out how to follow topics.
- And if you do have different user accounts across instances, is there a way to link your own user profile between them? To give others a single view, or to make it easier to juggle all my instances?
- I’ve heard it’s technically possible to follow content on Lemmy from Mastodon, for example. Is that a good way to consume content from single app?
Any guidance here would be appreciated, and it might lead to a better newcomer doc for others.
Thanks!
Ready helpful link, thanakyou
Thanks for sharing!
This is a great resource! :)
I feel like something like this should be stickied or included in the sidebar of the Fediverse magazine.

I have been wondering how do you follow a specific user?
On Lemmy you can’t and I’ve gotten the impression they won’t be adding it either. You can on mastodon and plethora
Dang I feel like that is a core function
