Getting started

1. Register an account on lemmy.lu

2. Explore communities — your home feed starts empty because Lemmy is federated, not centralized. To find communities:

• Go to lemmyverse.net to browse communities across all Lemmy instances
• Copy the community URL (e.g. https://lemmy.world/c/news or [!news@lemmy.world) and paste it into the search bar on lemmy.lu
• Click subscribe

3. Create your own community — if none exists for your topic, make one. Local communities work immediately, no federation needed.

4. ** Post and comment** — share articles, ask questions, start discussions. Any language is welcome.

Tips

• Your feed only shows posts from communities you subscribe to. Subscribe to more to see more.
• You can interact with users on other instances the same way as local ones — just search for them.
• If a community isn’t showing up in search, try pasting the full URL (e.g. https://lemmy.world/c/technology) instead of the !community@instance format.
