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

    I’ve installed Voyager already yes. On the app I select the “get started” from lemmy.zip and from there I can either click “join lemmy.zip”, “picker another server”, OR click “login”

    When I click login, I can select the piefed.ca server and then enter my info and that’s where it says “connection error, please try again”

    Do I need to first make a lemmy.ca account?
