## New here? Lemmy & the Fediverse, simplified:
We know some of this can sound weird at first (“what’s an instance?”, “federation?”, etc.).
If you’re new, this guide might be helpful
https://github.com/amirzaidi/lemmy
It walks you through:
- choosing an instance
- signing up & setting up your account
- finding communities & posting
A few fediverse links that may be of interest

## Guidelines at a glance
Be curious and kind.
If you share a claim, link your source (study, guideline, etc.). If it's your personal story, say so.
We’re not doctors. Serious medical stuff deserves professional-level attention.
No shilling; no pressure; ideas over dogma.
