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.

!newcomers@piefed.zip for a specific community also devoted to new users to the Fediverse.

    If you are using the web UI, then you can disable the user popups by popping this bit of css in the Additional CSS field of your user settings:

    .user_preview {
    display: none;
}

    As for infinite scroll, that isn’t a feature of the native web UI. There are some alternative UIs that support PieFed, and I don’t know all the features they have, so you might find that in those. Two that I know of:

      Blorp dev here. Trying to support all PieFed features but I’m a little behind:

      Currently working on:

      • PieFed feeds (basically the same as Lemmy v1 multi community support)

      Up next:

      • Emoji reactions
      • Create poll posts
      • Create event posts

      The PieFed devs are very fast and a little hard to keep up with 😅. But tbh, we already support more than enough of the PieFed api for you to have a great time imo. Please reach out to me if a specific one of those missing features is preventing you from joining.
