It seems that a lot of new people have learned about these platforms from a popular post on Reddit. We currently see 78 notifications (and counting) and a pile of applications on piefed.ca

I am pinning this thread on both platforms for new users to pop in to and ask questions. Please give them a warm welcome!

edit: 392 new users on the first day and hundreds more since then, all from one post 🥳

Please let us know how we can help! For example, here are some tips on finding communities: https://fedecan.ca/en/guide/lemmy/for-users/how-to-find-communities The guide says Lemmy, but the steps are the same on Piefed

Since a lot of people arrived here from r/BuyCanadian, maybe you will be interested in !buycanadian@lemmy.ca

    You might have to type in piefed.ca as your instance. I think it asks what instance you’re on, but it’s probably not on the list. Once you’re in, you’ll love it and all of this is worth it. I swear.

    Edit: Also, it looks like there is a voyager crypto app, be sure to get the lemmy version. https://vger.app/

      I downloaded the app from droid-ify called Voyager for Lemmy, it looks exactly what you linked so not sure that’s the issue.

      Thank you
