so i just saw this post in the new all feed ... was deleted the moment i wanted to open it for being "off topic".

pls, everyone, be nice to new users. don't just remove their first post for being "off topic". we're already having a problem of not getting enough new users (link)

Yeah I did ask that user if they found the mentally ill Lemmy users https://sh.itjust.works/post/64695905/26795857

NGL the more hostile Lemmy users kinda keep you from exploring more obscure communities. They'll just dog pile you for having somewhat controversial opinion and if you explain yourself they play the victim.
