The onboarding will offer you a lot of topics to sign up to. These contain communities in them. The idea is to populate subscription feeds, however it can leave some users with a lot of undesired subscriptions if they click too many.
If you wish to roll this back. Go to Settings -> Profile and click the yellow bar. Don’t click the red bar!
But welcome, and feel free to post your thoughts here.

Love the layout. It achieves the impossible: looking low-tech while somehow still being bloated. My OCD is screaming, but challenge accepted.
There’s a powerful API available, and from checking why your account has a low reputation warning I see you’re into vibe coding. So I guess you could have your fun putting together your own user interface.
Personally I like the default one. Each to their own.
Yeah, Vibers get a lot of hate. But honestly, who cares about rep points? I sure don’t. The whole system is counterproductive—it just forces everyone to think exactly the same way. If you don’t, you get shut out of the ‘cool’ crowd.
The reason you’re getting shut out is because you write your posts with a LLM. Goodbye.
What’s the benefit of this whitelist only model vs a blacklist model? Wouldn’t this just promote people to build their own custom echo chambers? I sort by Hot on All and only blacklist truly troublesome users. My reasoning is that I’ll see more viewpoints and expand my horizon.
I am not suggesting people have to use “Subscribed” exclusively, or at all, just that the onboarding can bloat people’s subscriptions in a way some people dislike if they click too many topics to follow.
woohoo!
Yay! I’m on social media, being social! 😃
Hi! I’m pineapple_pizza, and I’m new in town

You can have a little click the red bar, as a treat.
Greetings from Lemmy.
Welcome new Users!!
PS. If you’re looking for a good mobile app, Voyager works the best for me: https://getvoyager.app/
https://blorpblorp.xyz/ is also great.
This is what I use👍🏼
Im going to toss in Summit as well. Really excellent, immensly customizable, steady updates.
As a user of Relay for Reddit, this is excellent. So many of the same features and customisations that I feel right at home already.
And extensive filtering!
Welcome to all those new to piefed. Hope everyone enjoys their stay.
The sign up page needs to be redesigned. I literally could not sign up a few days back. I think now what it was is the catcha has a white box underneath to enter the field, which can be missed.
Good point, thanks!
Many people prefer smaller images on the home page - go to https://piefed.social/user/settings and try the “More compact” option in the “Compact UI” field.
The other option - “Most compact” - is similar to old.reddit which is nice but not to everyone’s taste.
Also try another theme! Amethyst is a popular one and the HPT themes are nice. Also Card Shadow. The rest are kinda experimental.
The subscribed to billions of communities I’m not interested in thing is part of why I haven’t used this account since making it 9 months ago lol. I was expecting it to just subscribe me to like the generic movies/science/news comms or like just the top five mau of each category. Was the button always there and I was just blind?
No, it wasn’t.
I pressured for one lol because of this
Neat ! What’s the reason for the influx of new users?
Successful posts on r/buyfromeu mostly. I think some others too.
Ah, should have guessed it was a Reddit thing 🙂
Over the last week a hand full of posts have hit over ~450,000 views together.
See !fedibridge@lemmy.dbzer0.com for more info
Wow, I didn’t know there is a South Africa instance!
It didn’t exist until last week.
I’ll move the South African sub to it eventually
Why are there more comments when I see this post on Lemmy.World than when I see it here?
Because there’s a UI bug. We’re aware of it.
The stickying of posts instance-wide has only just been rolled out.
