Previously this week I released a Lemmy guide in Finnish, as the platform has started to gain a bit more traction here. Based on that, I made an English version on my blog. I tell about what is Lemmy, how to choose an instance, how to find communities and how the interoperability with Mastodon works. I also tell a bit about mobile apps and my own experiences as an instance admin.

Posting Reddit links where people are looking for alternatives/discussing Lemmy is great, since those of us who quit Reddit for Lemmy superiority can't tell people Lemmy is superior.

HOWEVER, be slightly cautious of brigading:

1. To prevent brigading, Reddit stops counting upvotes on posts if people come from an external link, upvote quickly, and leave
2. Reddit has previously banned links to rdrama.net due to excessive brigading - This would be bad if it happened to Lemmy
3. We don't necessarily want to catch some power tripping Reddit admin to shadowban Lemmy shills

Basically, keep posting, but don't overdo it in a given subreddit, and maybe give a slight warning to not make a brigade obvious

I was a regular on lemmy.world prior to moving to Mbin, and I like how everything's in one place! I just have to ask, if I were to make an Mbin community (or magazine as they call it here) could users from other platforms join and engage with the content of my community? Thanks!

Let's go tell them to sign up on https://lemm.ee/ to crack past 54.9k mau

I've noticed several Redditors over in r/Lemmy and r/LemmyMigration who are experiencing issues with email verification on signup.

Examples:

• I can't verify my email because the page doesn't give me a button to do so. The link from my email just takes me to a blank page
• Unable to log in, got verification email, but go to log in and get a "bad password" message. Not getting password reset emails either. Junk/spam folders have nothing.
• Email never showed
• Can't reset password
• Can't register

I see several people in helping out as best they can in the comments, but I think it would probably be better if the relevant instance admins could reach out directly.

What is the best way to do this?

In order to maximize the number of users who join Lemmy, I think it is important that we streamline the sign-up process as much as possible. It would be unfortunate to miss out on potential users due to email issues.

This infographic is still incomplete; I'm posting it here in the hope that I can get some feedback about it. It has three goals:

1. To explain what federation is. No technobabble, just a simple analogy with houses and a neighbourhood.
2. To explain why federation is good for users.
3. [TODO] Specific info about the Fediverse, plus some really simple FAQ.

Criticism is welcome as long as constructive.

EDIT: OK, too much text. I'm clipping as much as I can.

If you still have a Reddit account, feel free to chime in with your experiences with Lemmy's upvote policy :)

Subs like r/BuyFromEU have exploded in Reddit, with 140k users and many more eyes on it, the movement has even made news in many countries.

This is a great place to make people aware of the existence of Lemmy.

On popular posts of people switching away from a US product, I like to comment variants of

While you're at it

Try out the European-Hosted Reddit alternative, Lemmy
It also has a Mobile-App

I use it alongside Reddit, and I'm enjoying it more and more, slowly switching over

Lemmy already has a growing c/buyEuropean community.

r/BoycottUnitedStates is also and option and so is r/BuyCanadian with 285k users, this is a big audience that wants to move away from US products like Reddit.

Spread the awareness of Lemmy.
