Hi 🙋,

you might be in search for an reddit alternative and don’t get the Lemmy thing, yet. Lemme help you out, shortly.

Lemmy lets you build communities just like you are used to.
You need an account to participate. I doesn’t matter on which server you register.
1. https://feddit.org → German/English community
2. https://feddit.uk → UK centric
3. List of other servers
Lemmy servers (instances) host communities and can be interconnected.
1. @[email protected] can follow local or remote communities
  - [[email protected]](/c/[email protected])
  - [[email protected]](/c/[email protected])
  - identified almost as easy as an e-Mail address.
Following a community is called subscribing, you’ll find a subscribe button when browsing communities.
Subscribing will keep you noted on new posts.
Mobile clients can make the experience more fluffy

Our community is called [email protected] but there are several likeminded communities out there. Make sure to watch out for them, e.g. by browsing an instance's local communities. Also if you want to stick around we posted about What to expect (from this community) and Where to start (buying european).

Feel free to link this post, when onboarding people to this community.

Voyager made migrating a no brainer. Took me a minute to find all lemmy versions of my fav subs. It's also a serious step up from the Reddit app in every other conceivable way. Like I was prepared for a whole lot of gripes but the experience is objectively better. There's really no reason not to try it at this point.

After recommending it to a friend, I just used it again. Seeing the content without registering is a big + . Also the onboarding for server selction looked very nice.

I wrote this few step rundown, because I believe the concepts might be overwhelming at first. Its not the software or the clients, but having a first impression of what (server, instance, user, community, post) is situated where and how it is federated, or better said connected.

Yeah definitely good job. I'm convinced the Fediverse is the future of high quality social media and it should be accessible to everyone. Concise tutorials like this definitely help.
