The onboarding will offer you a lot of topics to sign up to. These contain communities in them. The idea is to populate subscription feeds, however it can leave some users with a lot of undesired subscriptions if they click too many.

If you wish to roll this back. Go to Settings -> Profile and click the yellow bar. Don't click the red bar!

But welcome, and feel free to post your thoughts here.

!newcomers@piefed.zip for a specific community also devoted to new users to the Fediverse.

Come Join us in the Zulip Chat if you have specific queries.

Thank you for this information. Much appreciated! Notice it is a lively community here, which is great to contribute to. Onwards and upwards. Let's goooo

Hello,

I noticed your posts on !buyfromeu@feddit.org , thank you for those!

[–] rimu@piefed.social 13 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago)

Many people prefer smaller images on the home page - go to https://piefed.social/user/settings and try the "More compact" option in the "Compact UI" field.

The other option - "Most compact" - is similar to old.reddit which is nice but not to everyone's taste.


Also try another theme! Amethyst is a popular one and the HPT themes are nice. Also Card Shadow. The rest are kinda experimental.

Welcome new Users!!

PS. If you're looking for a good mobile app, Voyager works the best for me: https://getvoyager.app/

Im going to toss in Summit as well. Really excellent, immensly customizable, steady updates.

[–] higgsboson@piefed.social 5 points 9 hours ago

And extensive filtering!

[–] Blaze@piefed.zip 22 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Don’t click the red bar!

Famous last words

[–] rainwall@piefed.social 3 points 10 hours ago

You can have a little click the red bar, as a treat.

[–] scintilla@crust.piefed.social 20 points 13 hours ago

Welcome to all those new to piefed. Hope everyone enjoys their stay.

[–] RareEarth@piefed.social 14 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

The sign up page needs to be redesigned. I literally could not sign up a few days back. I think now what it was is the catcha has a white box underneath to enter the field, which can be missed.

[–] rimu@piefed.social 12 points 11 hours ago

Good point, thanks!

[–] artifex@piefed.social 10 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

Neat ! What’s the reason for the influx of new users?

[–] Skavau@piefed.social 16 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Successful posts on r/buyfromeu mostly. I think some others too.

[–] artifex@piefed.social 11 points 12 hours ago

Ah, should have guessed it was a Reddit thing πŸ™‚

[–] EkHouVanBraai@piefed.co.za 14 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago) (1 children)

Over the last week a hand full of posts have hit over ~450,000 views together.

See !fedibridge@lemmy.dbzer0.com for more info

[–] rhythmisaprancer@piefed.social 2 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Wow, I didn't know there is a South Africa instance!

[–] EkHouVanBraai@piefed.co.za 2 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

It didn't exist until last week.

I'll move the South African sub to it eventually

[–] jakelec@piefed.social 8 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago) (1 children)

Why are there more comments when I see this post on Lemmy.World than when I see it here?

[–] Skavau@piefed.social 12 points 12 hours ago

Because there's a UI bug. We're aware of it.

The stickying of posts instance-wide has only just been rolled out.

[–] Kraiden@piefed.social 3 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

I assume this was posted because there's an expected influx of new users? First, welcome! Second, I'm OOL. What'd Reddit do this time?

[–] Skavau@piefed.social 4 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Nothing. Just some very successful promotions on r/buyfromeu and a canadian subreddit.

[–] Kraiden@piefed.social 11 points 9 hours ago

Ah right! My reflex is to assume they've done something unspeakable!

Bart no meme

[–] crawancon@piefed.social 6 points 11 hours ago (2 children)
