It seems that a lot of new people have learned about these platforms from a popular post on Reddit. We currently see 78 notifications (and counting) and a pile of applications on piefed.ca
I am pinning this thread on both platforms for new users to pop in to and ask questions. Please give them a warm welcome!
edit: 392 new users on the first day and hundreds more since then, all from one post 🥳
Please let us know how we can help! For example, here are some tips on finding communities: https://fedecan.ca/en/guide/lemmy/for-users/how-to-find-communities The guide says Lemmy, but the steps are the same on Piefed
Since a lot of people arrived here from r/BuyCanadian, maybe you will be interested in !buycanadian@lemmy.ca
🍁 Finding Canadian Communities on Piefed
- Open a topic from this list: https://piefed.ca/topics
- Browse that entire topic, or subscribe to individual communities from the sidebar
Have you installed it already, what issue are you running into?
You should be able to select PieFed.ca and login with your credentials
I've installed Voyager already yes. On the app I select the "get started" from lemmy.zip and from there I can either click "join lemmy.zip", "picker another server", OR click "login"
When I click login, I can select the piefed.ca server and then enter my info and that's where it says "connection error, please try again"
Do I need to first make a lemmy.ca account?
You should be able to just click login, select the server and then login
Like this:
With the same username and password you used to login to PieFed.ca on your browser.
No nees for a lemmy.ca account.
You should be getting started with piefed.ca. Is it a pulldown?
