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 ๐ฅณ
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
๐ 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
You might have to type in piefed.ca as your instance. I think it asks what instance you're on, but it's probably not on the list. Once you're in, you'll love it and all of this is worth it. I swear.
Edit: Also, it looks like there is a voyager crypto app, be sure to get the lemmy version. https://vger.app/
I downloaded the app from droid-ify called Voyager for Lemmy, it looks exactly what you linked so not sure that's the issue.
Thank you
