Welcome friend! Happy to have you here.

Just a note on terminology, but subreddits are called communities here (hence the c/ in the url), not feddits. Also, the software this place runs is called Lemmy, so most places discussing it will have Lemmy in the name not Feddit. For questions about here there's !newtolemmy@lemmy.ca or !lemmy_support@lemmy.ml, but feel free to ask questions here or on !feddituk@feddit.uk and people will normally be happy to help (including myself).

Is there a Feditt to ask if there are existing feddits, like r/findareddit?

!findacommunity@lemmy.ml or you could ask in !communitypromo@lemmy.ca which is more active.

Is there a Feddit to discuss Feddit Apps?

!lemmyapps@lemmy.world. To find apps https://join-lemmy.org/apps has a list of apps with filters for platforms. I'm not an IOS user, but I've heard good things about Mlem.

Can I edit/change my username?

You can't change your username, but you have a setting called 'Display name' which can be changed and will be what shows up in most places, e.g. my username is flamingos but my display name is flamingos-cant which is the name you see.

Sorry for all the edits & questions, I’m like a kid in a sweatshop, this Voyager App is the closest U.I. to Apollo for Reddit & it feels like I’m using Apollo.

I don't user Voyager myself, but I've heard it very good. Certainly can't go wrong with it.

I’ve brought some Hobnobs with Chocolate on…

Trying to curry favours with the admins I see. It's working.

They would have a lot more options in that case, like they could stop engaging or explain they're not comfortable being open about it. Requiring having you're gender identity display in your bio/display name would make it too easy to glean by potential abusers and thus make this platform unsafe for vulnerable trans people.

I use a GNU system, which as we all know isn't Unix.

Unrelated kinda but I use nslookup because I thought it was more widely supported out of the box than dig?

I don't think I've ever been in a situation where nslookup was available but dig wasn't. On Fedora, they're in the same package.

My greatest Lemmy achievement was spawning an entire community because I locked a post.

IDK, this would force closeted trans people either to out themselves or misgender themselves. Not everyone is in a position where it's safe to be themselves, even online.

Has to be, no way SDF has 5 million comments.

The 'slut' maybe? Still, seems excessive.

The Ratte should be swapped with the Bizmark because the Nazis were actually dumb enough to built that.

Yeah, one of the big fears with moving to a small platform like Lemmy was that the apps wouldn't be nearly as good the Reddit ones, but Thunder is just genuinely fantastic.

The Border Security, Asylum and Immigration Bill sets out Labour's plan to treat people smugglers like terrorists, and creates a new crime of endangering another person during an illegal crossing in the Channel.

Terrorist? Really? How anyone takes this seriously is beyond me.
