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 !support@lemmy.world 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.
- https://a.lemmy.world - Alexandrite is a beautiful and convenient desktop-first alternate web UI for Lemmy. Official site https://alexandrite.app
- https://p.lemmy.world - Photon A sleek client for Lemmy with powerful mod and admin tools. The only alternative client with feature parity to the official client. Official site https://phtn.app

- https://old.lemmy.world - a familiar desktop experience for lemmy. Official site https://mlmym.org
THIRD PARTY APPS
There are a lot of Third Party apps available for Lemmy. From Paid to Open Source, you will find something that suits you easily.
For a complete list of apps have a look at https://lemmyapps.netlify.app/ (Thanks Blaze@discuss.tchncs.de).
EDIT: Updated the apps list. Also some more interesting links in @otter@lemmy.ca’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 @Rootiest@lemmy.world laziness for that.
It really is. I received this ban immediately after i commented this complaint. In the modlog it said that i gor banned because i was a “troll”. There was no other comment or anything else this ban could have referred to.
An hour ago the mods even realized their mistake and unbanned me. But im staying here on blahaj.
