I’ve been working on a guide to getting started on Lemmy. What do you think I should add?

    Thanks but this guide is a bit too oversimplified, which is guaranteed to leave the user with question marks after a few minutes of using it.

    And I also dislike the hardcoding of recommended instances (lemmy.world and lemmy.ml).

      Perhaps you could write up the sort of guide you are talking about so I can see what you mean? I haven’t found people respond well to hitting them with much more than this upfront, and they get anxious when you don’t give them some specific recommendations to get started.

    I think the unofficial fediverse logo is a nice visual aid for these concepts!

      I wonder if I should make a fediverse animated gif or short mp4 that can be dropped in whenever needed.

        Wouldn’t an animated Lemmy logo makes sense since you’re writing a Lemmy guide?

        Or maybe both?
