I'm new to lemmy, came from reddit. What's the lemmy etiquette like? How different is it from reddiqutte? (lemmy.ml)

Post frequently. Comment frequently. Make some friends/acquaintances. Try to remember that the folks making posts and comments are generally human (more so than on reddit). Try to be kind. Don't pay too much mind to inter-instance drama unless it's in a light-hearted and fun way (it's simply not worth it otherwise), or has a real impact on your experience (in which case use the blocking tools). If someone named Nicole PMs you ignore it and maybe let your instance's admin team know.

I've been here for two years now. It's generally a great group and I'm happy I joined the API-ocolypse migration from reddit. Welcome! :)

Oh man, I think there's a community about our friend Nicole, I'll see if I can find it.

Long story short, many of us got PMs from someone named Nicole, but were invited to call her the fediverse chick. She was supposedly an international student at a Canadian university, and wanted to connect with people at some link I personally never clicked on (iirc it was to some other fediverse service).

Nicole seemed very determined - many accounts, across many instances, with many, many messages sent. 'Nicole spam' is now a known term for many instance admins.
