Welcome :)

Here’s a couple of things to help you find your way around:

Lemmy Explorer is a great site to browse communities on Lemmy/Piefed/Mbin to join.

FYI everything on Lemmy is relative to the instance you are on. For instance if there was a community on lemmy.world called ThisIsAnExample (lemmy.world/c/thisisanexample) then to you (on lemmy.zip) it would appear as lemmy.zip/c/thisisanexample@lemmy.world and you would link to it as !thisisanexample@lemmy.world. Same goes for users.

You can see these icons on each post or comment…

The first one is a link to it on lemmy.zip. The second one is a link to the original post/comment on the users home instance.

Good luck!
