While doing bits of setup over the last day, I've had to search to work out a couple of things. I thought this might be a good place for people to post up other tips and gotchas.

Avatars and Icons: Currently, non-square images are squished to fit in spaces. Cropping or blankspacing can improve the way things display.

Adding mods: To add an additional mod to a community, currently they need to comment on a thread in that community. From there, an existing mod can click the 3 dots menu next to their comment, and add them as a moderator.

@GreatAlbatross
Here are the "tips" I have learnt for using #Lemmy with #mastodon

Follow communities and people by copying the url into the mastodon search. You follow them a bit like you would a hashtag and then all posts from that community will show in your feed.

Reply to posts or comments you copy the url of a post or comments into the search on mastodon.

Post to a community by @ it in for example it would be @ "feddituk@feddit.uk" or @ "unitedkingdom@feddit.uk".
