    I straight up don’t know how to use Lemmy. I feel like I need to relearn how to ride a bike.

      I’ve been here for a bit more than a week now and my biggest advice and is to take it as it is. Take a deep breath, accept that this is Lemmy and not something else, and that you’re feeling it out. This is not relearning a bike, this is getting in a peddle boat for the first time. Similar, yes, but also it’s own thing.

      Yeah it’s different, you’ll burn in pretty quick though, just have to get used stuff being spread across a bunch of instances. It feels pretty natural after using it a while. The designers try to make it easy. It’s kind of like email where each community has two parts to its name.
