MODERATORS
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 !Canada@lemmy.ca. You can also ask about communities in places like !CommunityPromo@lemmy.ca.

The block button is key to curating your general daily experience on Lemmy. Obviously block anything you don't like, but also use it if you're not interested in a specific scene or topic. You can always remove the block later if you want. I think of the block button more like the "Not Interested" button on Youtube.
Thank you for this. I'm done with Reddit and looking forward to having Lemmy as my new home. I can't imagine why they never implemented the block feature over there. I spent my days using RES to "Filter" subreddits to curate my feed. Glad to be here!
