Where can I find manual on how Lemmy works?

Sorry, I am too lazy to search myself.

Also, how do you search inside the… community? (How is sub called here? 🫢)

Since I don’t know how to search inside asklemmy, I have to ask, 😅 how are users of Lemmy called? Can someone post a link where it’s originally asked, please?

Additional question: when we edit our posts or comments, like adding something, do we put “Edit” before the edit, like on the platform that rhymes with edit?

Calling communities subs is fine. It need not necessarily refer to reddit. Sub means under/secondary/part of.

If you see rule #3 of this community, it mentions that support question should be posted at /c/[email protected].

Search depends on what you would like to find: from the web ui, you have to select the type (comments, users, posts), then choose the scope (all, local, subscribed), then choose the sort type (top all time, controversial, new, old, etc).

The rest of the forms (like community, creator) are self-explanatory - community drop-down won’t work if you’re searching for a community, likewise creator drop-down won’t work if you’re searching for a user.

To ping and mention a user, @<user>@<instance>.<domain> (e.g.- @Mantikora ) should work. To just mention them, /u/<user>@<instance>.<domain> (e.g.- /u/[email protected]) should do. To point a specific community, /c/<insert-community-name> (e.g.- /c/[email protected]) should work.

There is so many ways to access Lemmy. You’d probably want to mention what app you use
