Well, you got THIS far, so you’re doing a pretty good job understanding it so far.
Lemmy is made by communists for all of us. Don’t be a dick, remember the human, but be careful about the communists, a few of them are in this to cause a war that they think they’ll win.
Other than that, Lemmy and piefed are truly international, and you’re going to encounter a lot of diverse, real cross culture perspectives. A LOT of people REALLY FUCKING HATE AMERICANS. Like, REAAALLLLLY hate us… If you aren’t American, this is redundant, if you are American, don’t let them get to you because there are good people out there too that understand that everywhere is a mix and the entire point of talking online is to learn to accept each other and try to live together better.
Other than that, there’s a ton of nuance, a fuck ton of infighting, and you’ll just have to learn all of this as you go. Don’t be afraid to be different. Reddit was all about fitting in, this place is all about being true to yourself in an international space that isn’t corporate. I think it could shift that way, at some point, but due to the nature of how instances work, you won’t ever truly be banned unless you don’t fit in with your instance, in which you should probably change, anyway. Yourself or your instance, that is.
I dunno. Go wild. See what feels good. Pour one out for Sir Patrick Stewart, complain about Russians to Russians, complain about Americans to Americans, complain at the Chinese to the Chinese, air your grievances about a semi united kingdom, hornypost, drink milk, talk about how you like holding your phone while you poop, learn about open source software from the .ml users (those are communists), the gay stuff from my instance (those are the gays… Actually, there’s a LOT of gays on lemmy, not just us), try to remember which version of which community is which, or even start your own community and be a moderator of something neat just because you can.
Most mods on here are still used to the Reddit way, but are doing their best to not be. Everybody’s got strong opinions, some even have strong opinions about not having strong opinions!
