Most instances have a support community for discussing technical issues with that particular server.
As each instance names these slightly differently, I thought I’d create a thread to collect as many as possible.

Please comment below with equivalent communities and I’ll add them to the list.
I would also recommend that instance admins include a link to their meta/support community in the sidebar of their instance.
On a somewhat related note, do any instance admins still have Reddit accounts they would be willing to reveal here?
I’ve come across many Redditors who are interested in Lemmy but give up after experiencing issues on signup. I think the ability to have instance admins reach out to users on Reddit directly could be a useful tool in reducing the friction of the Lemmy onboarding process.
If you are an instance admin and are comfortable sharing your Reddit username, please do so below.
Thanks; added!
I am No_Measurement_6680
Oh, it’s you! :)
I’ve added you to the list as a point of contact for the dbzer0 instance.
Ooooh, point of contact? What’s the post URL?
Oh, just this post, nothing fancy.
If a Redditor has questions or signup issues with the dbzer0 instance, someone can tag u/No_Measurement_6680 and/or u/Dbzer0 to provide assistance.
Oh, i didn’t notice that lol.
Fyi this account is a burner but if it doesn’t get banned, i’ll keep it as a main i guess.
(Boy, i forgot how hard redditors are to deal with…)
- lemmynsfw.com - there’s [email protected] but only mods can create posts. I couldn’t find any direct equivalent to a support comm.
- lemmygrad.ml - [email protected] ; there’s also [email protected] for official content
- lemmy.eco.br - support strictu sensu is done through Matrix, https://matrix.to/#/#lemmyecobr:matrix.org . But there’s also [email protected] to talk about the server.
Thanks! Added.
Dbzer0 on reddit
Thanks! Added.
kbin.earth has [email protected]
Thanks, added. Do you know if any of your admins are active on Reddit?
Do you know if any of your admins are active on Reddit?
I don’t, but I can try tagging the two I know of: @aasatru @jwr1
Sadly I don’t think Mbin currently shows a list of admins anywhere, so not sure if that’s everyone.My Reddit account is u/jwr12135.
And yeah, it’s just us two admins (nobody else).
Thanks! Added.
I’m not active on Reddit. Super happy to help people out if they make their way over here, though!

Do any of you (or other admins) have a Reddit account you would be willing to reveal here? I’ve come across many Redditors who are interested in Lemmy but give up after experiencing issues on signup.

We have the [email protected] email that can be used for signup issues.
Thanks! Added.
While we do have accounts, I don’t think they’re monitored actively. It’s probably best to list the email address. We all can see those emails, and we’ve been able to help a number of new users that way already. Often we can match the email address to the account and resolve it within our initial reply
Also thank you for putting this together! It’s very helpful

Sounds like a great system!
Also thank you for putting this together!
You’re welcome! From one Canadian Lemmy instance to another, thank you for all the work you do!
This honestly show be integrated as part of all UIs. A button to send you to a help forum, preferably one that does not require the user to understand what federation is.
The people who are going to see this list know what they are doing and can navigate the Threadiverse.
Most of the instances have their support community in their sidebars
A surprisingly large fraction of instances do not, as I discovered when compiling this list.
Well done then!
PieFed:
Thanks! Added. Do you know if any of the admins of those instances have a presence on Reddit?
I doubt they are very active there, as they seem busy enough taking care of PieFed.
@[email protected] : If you’re on Reddit, there’s someone here who wants you on a list to help lost redditors with on-boarding.
Hi, no sorry, I’m not active on Reddit. I don’t have backend access here either, so wouldn’t be able help out if something went wrong.
Altho I didn’t see anyone complain about Mbin having troubles with registration, my instance’s meta community is [email protected] . It’s the biggest Mbin instance
Thanks! Added. Do you know if any of your admins are active on Reddit?
I think that one might be for lemmy.zip users only. @[email protected], could you confirm?
Good point - we don’t really have a space for this. We kind of use !home for most things, and i wouldn’t moderate a post from an external user if there was a technical issue. So !home is probably the best place. (I’ll update the description to reflect)
I will have a think about a support community but home is fine for now :) thanks for checking!

One of our Admins still moderates their Reddit community, but we are also in regular contact with the other mods who chose to stay behind.

Would they be willing to be an ambassador/point-of-contact for Redditors who are interested in startrek.website, in case they encounter any issues during signup?
@[email protected] thoughts here?
I still have a Reddit account and am willing to help people figure out Lemmy registration, but I do not moderate any active Reddit communities.
Oh, my bad! Also congratulations.

Thanks! Would you be willing to post your username here so I can add it to the OP?
Sure. /u/williams_482
I’m not sure but the instance was started by the reddit mods I will ask and let you know
@[email protected], are you u/LemmyDOTwtf on Reddit? May I include your username in the OP?
Also, would you consider adding a direct link to [email protected] in the instance sidebar?
Yes and sure.
Thanks! Added.
feddit.uk (u/mighty3mperor)
Also @[email protected] is u/Demigodrick - he’s been pitching in over on The Bad Place.
Thanks! Added.
Same thread has @[email protected].
It looks like @[email protected] hasn’t been active in 5 months. This instance is still online, but is it actively maintained?
Edit: It’s also still on 0.19.5.
Ah yes, that has come up before. The dangers of having only one Admin.
They’re active on Reddit, so if another Turkish user wanted to help Admin, they could contact them there. It’d be a pity to see this go.
Added to the list for completeness’ sake, though the instance doesn’t have a dedicated support community.
@[email protected] Do you think we might consider pinning this post? I will do my best to keep it up to date.
I can pin it
Thanks. It seems to be pinned on dbzer0 and literature.cafe, but not on many remote instances:
Yes, then the bug is still there. We can only pin posts from local accounts.
Would you have any dbzer0 alt by any chance? If not, I can copy paste the content once it’s stable
Yes, I do: @[email protected]
That account is now a mod! Thank you for everything you do!
Thanks, likewise!
Wait, you’re a mod here?
Are you still surprised? 😄
Yes, I am. I don’t see you listed as a mod when I view the community on my home instance or on dbzer0.
