A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

If you're telling someone about Lemmy, what link do you send them? (lemm.ee)

This post is inspired by a conversation I had with another user earlier that, after some reflection, raised an interesting point.

When telling a user about Lemmy, trying to bring them into the fold if you will, what would be the best go to link? Think of reddit.com/r/all, but for Lemmy.

In theory, any instance will work as long as it has a large enough user base to have people subscribed to other large isntances, but having a solid landing page to point new users towards definitely has some merit.

Thoughts?

This is what I would do, unless your friend is already fediverse knowledgeable. If you have knowledge about what subreddit they enjoyed the most you can use the community browser to find what instance has the largest similar community and show them that. https://browse.feddit.de

100% agreed. as someone that has been meaning to jump into the fediverse since the Twitter debacle, I was paralyzed by choosing an initial Mastadon server. If you want lemmy/kbin to grow, just link them directly to the best matched instance you can find for them.
