!newtolemmy - A community to welcome and help new users

https://lemmy.ca/c/newtolemmy

Join us at the front gate to welcome new users into Lemmy, and to the Fediverse as a whole!

Links:


I'm hoping this community will encourage new people to do things like the following:

  • share what you're looking for, or what you want to do. We'll help you find it
  • Ask questions! The Fediverse is new to most people. If you're unsure about something, others are unsure as well.
  • Just smile and wave, maybe someone will wave back 👋

I searched around for a bit and didn't see a community for this purpose, so I made this one.

If you have suggestions, have resources for the new users, or want to help moderate, let me know!

Love the banner art :)

Great to hear! I had them generated, but I was really happy with how this one came out :)

I'm hoping to eventually have some Lemmy artists swap the banners/icons once there's a need for it

First thing I noticed was the adorable picture what ai did you use to generate it? It turned out amazing!

It took some trial and error, but I used DALLE for it. The prompt was something like

cartoonish flat style of a young lemming walking down a path, on its first day
