This whole system is a lot newer than most services you've used on the Internet. It's under constant change. Expect it to look different next week, month, or year.

Agreed. The systems are being flooded from the migration. Communities are quickly being formed. A little patience and people rolling up their sleeves to make it better go a long way.
Filter by New so you don't see the same few posts every time to open Lemmy.
Don't forget to hit the CTRL button when clicking on any external links so they open in a new tab. Basically pretend it's 2012 again.
If you want Lemmy to be successful, contribute as much high quality content as possible so more people will be inclined to stay here. Don't lurk.
Join a kbin instance and also join a Lemmy instance. Neither one is very stable yet (kbin has only been out a couple months) so I suggest using kbin until it starts having issues then switching to Lemmy for a while.
- Until we have migration tools, think of your account as disposable
- Never upload anything you don't want the world to see, no matter how private something claims to be
Can you explain the migration tools, or lack thereof.
I guess they're talking about migrating your account from an instance to another
There isn't explicitly a profit motive on here (unlike almost every other big social media site).
So you can do away with the clickbait-y, karma or like farming...
We don't do that here.
Just wait until things grow. Those people will come once there is an audience to extract money from.
