The onboarding will offer you a lot of topics to sign up to. These contain communities in them. The idea is to populate subscription feeds, however it can leave some users with a lot of undesired subscriptions if they click too many.

If you wish to roll this back. Go to Settings -> Profile and click the yellow bar. Don't click the red bar!

But welcome, and feel free to post your thoughts here.

!newcomers@piefed.zip for a specific community also devoted to new users to the Fediverse.

    The sign up page needs to be redesigned. I literally could not sign up a few days back. I think now what it was is the catcha has a white box underneath to enter the field, which can be missed.

    Welcome to all those new to piefed. Hope everyone enjoys their stay.

    Many people prefer smaller images on the home page - go to https://piefed.social/user/settings and try the "More compact" option in the "Compact UI" field.

    The other option - "Most compact" - is similar to old.reddit which is nice but not to everyone's taste.


    Also try another theme! Amethyst is a popular one and the HPT themes are nice. Also Card Shadow. The rest are kinda experimental.

    Neat ! What’s the reason for the influx of new users?

    Over the last week a hand full of posts have hit over ~450,000 views together.

    Why are there more comments when I see this post on Lemmy.World than when I see it here?

    I assume this was posted because there's an expected influx of new users? First, welcome! Second, I'm OOL. What'd Reddit do this time?

    The subscribed to billions of communities I'm not interested in thing is part of why I haven't used this account since making it 9 months ago lol. I was expecting it to just subscribe me to like the generic movies/science/news comms or like just the top five mau of each category. Was the button always there and I was just blind?

    Happy to be here! One of my goals for this year is to significantly decrease the amount of time I spend on centralised social media sites and apps.

    I've made Mastodon, Piefed, and Matrix accounts.

    Having been glued to the Reddit homepage for the better part of a decade, feels exciting to actually be somewhere new for a change!

    Hey all :)

    Is there a RES equivalent for this? I'd like non-ending scroll and to disable user hover popup 😬

    If you are using the web UI, then you can disable the user popups by popping this bit of css in the Additional CSS field of your user settings:

    .user_preview {
        display: none;
    }
    

    As for infinite scroll, that isn't a feature of the native web UI. There are some alternative UIs that support PieFed, and I don't know all the features they have, so you might find that in those. Two that I know of:

    Blorp dev here. Trying to support all PieFed features but I'm a little behind:

    Currently working on:

    • PieFed feeds (basically the same as Lemmy v1 multi community support)

    Up next:

    • Emoji reactions
    • Create poll posts
    • Create event posts

    The PieFed devs are very fast and a little hard to keep up with 😅. But tbh, we already support more than enough of the PieFed api for you to have a great time imo. Please reach out to me if a specific one of those missing features is preventing you from joining.
