Just wanted to say hello to everyone new joining the instance lately. Seems like reddits ideas of introducing paywalled subreddits got a few more people to think twice about using that site.

I just wanted to encourage new users to install a good mobile client for Lemmy. The web interface is OK but the mobile apps really take Lemmy to another level by being much faster and more user friendly.

I personally like Boost for Lemmy and Sync but there are many others to choose from. More are linked in the sidebar.

After you do that, make sure to subscribe to many communities. You see a list under the Communities tab and you can choose to subscribe with a click.

You can also go here and see all communities in the entire lemmy universe:

Me and @Buelldozer@lemmy.today are trying to keep the bots and spammers out and it goes pretty well so far.

Hope you like Lemmy more than Reddit, most of us here do.. :)

It's a shame how hard it is to convince people to pay $5 to get rid of something they hate so much. People don't like to pay for apps, and that unfortunately forces the ad model more than ever these days. Donations are a great thing on paper, but they don't pay the bills for most creators. I hate subscriptions as much as the next person, but I think creators who charge one-time fees for their apps should be encouraged.
