We have gotten a lot of new signups over the past few days, and we're all very excited to have you joining us! You'll find that people are more than happy to help you get started and learn how to use the site.
If you feel up for it, you can introduce yourself or ask questions below!
We have put together some resources to help new users get started:
You can also read:
- A quick overview of Lemmy
- A detailed guide on how Lemmy works
- A quick overview of 'the Fediverse'
- Learn about the non-profit that runs this site
These guides were published very recently, and we will be updating them over time. If you find that something is confusing or missing, please let us know and we can improve them further.
For an organized list of Canadian communities (provinces/territories, Cities / Local , Sports, Schools, BuyCanadian, CanadaPolitics etc.), see this post on [email protected]. You can also ask about communities in places like [email protected].
We also encourage you to check out [email protected], so that others can help you / learn from your questions.
Welcome to Lemmy :)
We ban spammers and remove all their content fairly quickly once we get a report, sometimes within minutes if we're online at the time. Could you report the post/message so we can deal with it?
For what it's worth, once in a while I'll search the spam URLs and the same junk is posted across Reddit and other sites. Worse, some of those posts have been up for months
Definitely coincidental, we don't do anything with your email except send registrations / notifications. It never goes anywhere other than lemmy's db.
There's a big fat red delete button at the bottom of your settings page - https://lemmy.ca/settings
Can you please forward it to us? Ideally as an attachment so I can see the mail headers. [email protected]
