post-script:
This was evidently made in a hurry, so I'll need some help from you all in the comments to polish it or add anything important that I have overlooked. Or, you know, apply actual basic graphic design principles. Regardless, I think it will serve as a prototype guide for newcomers.
I encourage using the crosspost feature to share this around where appropriate (this place has grown so much I haven't found all the relevant meta communities). All rights reversed, none reserved
One more thing I didn't explicitly say was: seize this opportunity to do something new! While it is good to see a lot of fun communities moving over, we naturally run the risk of just replaying the same old game. Even just the little things like people recycling 'sub-lemmy' or 'lemmiquette' (which isn't even a pun anymore) and the same old in-joke memes. Be creative and fresh! That's how you build a community and prevent people just leaving after a month.
