Accounts and anonymity?
For social media, I don't mind using my real name and email to register as long as only my username shows on posts or image uploads.
When I upload an image, what can other users see?

MODERATORS
We have gotten a lot of new signups over the past few days, and we're all very excited to have you joining us! You'll find that people are more than happy to help you get started and learn how to use the site.
If you feel up for it, you can introduce yourself or ask questions below!
We have put together some resources to help new users get started:
You can also read:
- A quick overview of Lemmy
- A detailed guide on how Lemmy works
- A quick overview of 'the Fediverse'
- Learn about the non-profit that runs this site
These guides were published very recently, and we will be updating them over time. If you find that something is confusing or missing, please let us know and we can improve them further.
For an organized list of Canadian communities (provinces/territories, Cities / Local , Sports, Schools, BuyCanadian, CanadaPolitics etc.), see this post on !Canada@lemmy.ca. You can also ask about communities in places like !CommunityPromo@lemmy.ca.
We also encourage you to check out !NewToLemmy@lemmy.ca, so that others can help you / learn from your questions.
Welcome to Lemmy :)
New user question; why is it that I cannot upvote? am I missing something? I tap the arrow and get 'invalid_bot_action' I can assure you I am a real human - I can pass most captchas ๐

I start to respond to a post or comment that I see on NEW. I finish and right before I hit post, I notice the instance/server is completely unrelated to my response and I deleted my post :) - It's an added nuance to Lemmy that takes some getting used to.
Would you be able to share an example? (Short description or screenshot is fine)
We might be able to clarify or add it to the guides in the future

Can you please add Liberapay as a donation option? I don't see it on your donation page.

Is anyone else here because Reddit kicked them out for spurious reasons? I was told that I was banned because I had "promoted hate", but the link to the post where I supposedly did this didn't have anything of mine in it. When I appealed they just doubled down.
