I’m new here coming from Reddit.

Yalls subreddit needs links to here. And a short guide on getting started.

I had to scroll a bunch of comments to find the right name to Google. Then I had to find the most popular app to use. It was a bit of a hassle. Not too bad. But enough to be off-putting to newbies.

I’d love it if subs had tags, so they were more easy to sort through.

https://lemmyverse.net/communities is usually quite good to sort through them.

Please tell your friends to join LemmyWorld (biggest instance) and install the app Voyager (cross platform support) to get started on the platform!

Is there a reason you recommend LemmyWorld? It’s not great to funnel everyone onto the largest instance. I usually recommend lemm.ee.

I just thought that LemmyWorld would be the easiest to get started from Reddit as it has the least discoverability issues with Lemmy communities.

Welcome!

I usually link to

As the other comment said, linking to a specific app isn’t that easy, choosing between former Reddit clients like Sync and Boost for instance is already tough, and then you include Lemmy exclusive apps like Jerboa, Voyager, Thunder, etc.

Feel free if you have any question

The benefit is also it’s curse. It’s all open, so there can be a bunch of names and a bunch of apps. Nobody agrees what the best app is.

But once you get your own ecosystem set up, it is amazing.

Which is a huge hurdle for new people 😬

I have two apps, Voyager and Connect, one for me on my instance, one on lemmy.world. They show wildly different things 😊

I loved connect, but the constant restarting and losing your spot drove me to Boost. Its basically exactly the same (minus a 2$ no ad fee) an it never loses my spot! Connect handled markdown considerably better though. Has the app crashing issue been fixed?
