The onboarding will offer you a lot of topics to sign up to. These contain communities in them. The idea is to populate subscription feeds, however it can leave some users with a lot of undesired subscriptions if they click too many.
If you wish to roll this back. Go to Settings -> Profile and click the yellow bar. Don’t click the red bar!
But welcome, and feel free to post your thoughts here.
!newcomers@piefed.zip for a specific community also devoted to new users to the Fediverse.

Yay! I’m on social media, being social! 😃
Well hello, fellow social, I sure do love socialing.
Hi! I’m pineapple_pizza, and I’m new in town
Hello stranger, I hope you will find our settlement to our liking. All is not good and well though, we seem to have an infestation of radioactive bugs in our fields that are eating the crops. If you are willing to take care of them we will pay you with some random useless items that are worth absolutely nothing.
Your deliciousness is welcome though 😋🍕
Hello! Me too!
And I’ll try to keep my trap shut.A Canadian classic, welcome.
Thank you for this information. Much appreciated! Notice it is a lively community here, which is great to contribute to. Onwards and upwards. Let’s goooo
Hello,

Don’t click the red bar!
Famous last words
You can have a little click the red bar, as a treat.
Welcome new Users!!
PS. If you’re looking for a good mobile app, Voyager works the best for me: https://getvoyager.app/
Do you know if any apps support the piefed exclusive features like subscribing to threads?
Thunder is also a good client on android and ios, what I use personally, it has a material design on android which I prefer https://thunderapp.dev/
https://blorpblorp.xyz/ is also great.
This is what I use👍🏼
Im going to toss in Summit as well. Really excellent, immensly customizable, steady updates.
And extensive filtering!
As a user of Relay for Reddit, this is excellent. So many of the same features and customisations that I feel right at home already.
The sign up page needs to be redesigned. I literally could not sign up a few days back. I think now what it was is the catcha has a white box underneath to enter the field, which can be missed.
Good point, thanks!
Welcome to all those new to piefed. Hope everyone enjoys their stay.
Many people prefer smaller images on the home page - go to https://piefed.social/user/settings and try the “More compact” option in the “Compact UI” field.
The other option - “Most compact” - is similar to old.reddit which is nice but not to everyone’s taste.
Also try another theme! Amethyst is a popular one and the HPT themes are nice. Also Card Shadow. The rest are kinda experimental.
Neat ! What’s the reason for the influx of new users?
Successful posts on r/buyfromeu mostly. I think some others too.
Ah, should have guessed it was a Reddit thing 🙂
Over the last week a hand full of posts have hit over ~450,000 views together.
See !fedibridge@lemmy.dbzer0.com for more info
Wow, I didn’t know there is a South Africa instance!
It didn’t exist until last week.
I’ll move the South African sub to it eventually
Why are there more comments when I see this post on Lemmy.World than when I see it here?
Because there’s a UI bug. We’re aware of it.
The stickying of posts instance-wide has only just been rolled out.
Welcome! mmmm new meat.

OR AM I??

OR AM I THOUGH
They’re made out of meat

Greetings from Lemmy.
I assume this was posted because there’s an expected influx of new users? First, welcome! Second, I’m OOL. What’d Reddit do this time?
Nothing. Just some very successful promotions on r/buyfromeu and a canadian subreddit.
Ah right! My reflex is to assume they’ve done something unspeakable!
In your defense, I bet if we dig for a few moments we’ll find something horrible that they’ve done that has somehow caused this. Reddit simply cannot leave well enough alone:-).
Reddit has turned into a cesspool of censorship and corporate/government astroturfing and sock-puppetry, I blocked the entire domain in my hosts file years ago.
Unfortunately it’s where people post things, and I’ve already cut out Facebook, Threads, Xhitter, Insta, whatever, so if I need to find information about something happening, that’s pretty much the only place left for me to look (nowadays when there’s only like 7 websites in the entire world).
Whether I go once per month or per day during high activity timeframes, it’s where some content is. And sometimes not even then: irl, the entirety of Reddit is considered a niche habitat for nerds. So if you want to know a specific thing - like a schedule for a local park, you pretty much have to use whatever they chose to post their content to, or else go without.
Rather go without than consume corporate fascist (but I repeat myself) crap.
Apparently there’s been some bans over Epstein files shit too.
