There has been a steady trickle of new users here today, and in the past little while, mostly due to the bad decisions that reddit is currently making.
Anyways, welcome! Feel free to look around, and if you have any questions about anything lemmy related, feel free to ask!
Also, if you feel up to it, introduce yourself in the comments below!
edit: Here’s a nice getting started guide for lemmy: https://tech.michaelaltfield.net/2023/06/11/lemmy-migration-find-subreddits-communities/
i should have added it here a while ago!
likely because you’re the first subscriber from this instance, and currently there’s some issues subscribing to lemmy.ml communities, I believe because they have so many users now. if you look at the community it will likely say “subscription pending”, so I don’t believe it’s ever registering on their instance.
the only workaround I know of is to trying to subscribe when it’s less busy there.
