A community for discussing this instance, Lemmy as a whole, and expressing concerns.

NCL Meta is also the home of "Foundations of Lemmy," a series where I do my best to write detailed, freely-licensed guides that address points of contention for new users.

This isn't a formal addition to any particular chapter in Foundations of Lemmy, but I wanted to point people to a few cool places to find instances and communities:

Lemmy Explorer - A new search tool to find communities and instances all in one place. It's a bit more robust than the Lemmy Community Browser, which I have recommended before. This tool displays far more information and helps you to make informed decisions about where your account should live and which communities are worth subscribing to.

sub.rehab - A site that is especially useful for finding official alternatives to subreddits on alternative platforms. Most live on either kbin or Lemmy and are accessible through both.

Lemmy Observer - A site with a great deal of statistics on Lemmy instances. A great resource if you're trying to find a small instance to lay down roots. For example, NCL has >99% uptime and 100-150ms ping.

That was about it for now. You should check our main chapters for a detailed crash course on using Lemmy.
