I'm noticing an influx of Reddit users today, maybe revolving around their weird bug they had today. I know this question pops up semi regularly, but for those just getting their foot in the door maybe we can help show them what else is out here on the Fediverse to help them get started.

I'll kick us off, to any newcomers, I help run the following communities, and we'd welcome you to any of them. (Shameless self promotion I know, but I hope more people join in sharing theirs as well)

!satisfactory@lemmy.world (https://lemmy.world/c/satisfactory)
- A community based around the factory building game, Satisfactory
!taylorswift@poptalk.scrubbles.tech (https://poptalk.scrubbles.tech/c/taylorswift)
- A community for all Swifties, in our Lemmy era
!popheads@poptalk.scrubbles.tech (https://poptalk.scrubbles.tech/c/popheads)
- A community for all things pop music

For help and support, taken right from the sidebar of AskLemmy here

!newtolemmy@lemmy.ca (https://lemmy.ca/c/newtolemmy)
- Thanks to @otter@lemmyca for this one, help and guides for folks new to Lemmy
!lemmy_support@lemmy.ml (https://lemmy.ml/c/lemmy_support)
- Community for asking questions about how to use Lemmy, troubleshooting, etc
!fediverse@lemmy.ml (https://lemmy.ml/c/fediverse)
- Community revolving around the fediverse, how it operates, new applications, and items that may be above just Lemmy.

An important one to kick off, we do have an entire community just for this over at !communitypromo@lemmy.ca (https://lemmy.ca/c/communitypromo) for a more long-running conversation

For new users, I hope you find some communities that you enjoy! For current users, share your favorite communities that new folks may be interested in! (Please use both the !@_ notation and give a link, to help our new fediverse people out in learning how it works)

Had to look up what "EMS" is, it's not referred to as this in my country and your "about" section didn't provide any more description - you might get more international users if you use a more general term like "emergency service workers" or "ambulance" or something like that

Great advice, thank you!
