Hello. My first time here. As the title says, this is my first “thread” creation here. What are some things I should watch out for when I post here? Am I even allowed to create a thread even though this is my first time here? Or are there rules like Karma points, like in Reddit? Any input would be appreciated. Thanks. And nice meeting you all!
Try to learn how federation works if you don’t know it already. Otherwise you’ll be wondering why some problems occur, why some things are the way they are and why users and comms have a @example.com in their names.
Here is a good simple starter guide by fedecan:

If you want a more featureful alternative, check out Piefed: https://join.piefed.social/
No need to worry, as it is also a part of the Fediverse. You can interact with anyone you can in Lemmy in Piefed as well.
If you want to help by interacting with smaller comms, try the “Scaled” sort. It gives a boost to smaller comms in your feed.
