What resources, suggestions, and support can those of us who are already here provide to potential newcomers? And what can we do to prepare for – and encourage – a potential influx?

It's a good idea, but on the other hand telling people to observe before participating will probably lead to them not ever coming back again.

Observe while participating is what I meant. The intent is to give a person a heads up that cliques still exist on Lemmy and it may take a bit to understand them. In my case, I found the first instance I wouldn't participate on when I was classified as a fascist baby killer for some reason. (Some instances hadn't been mostly defederated back then.)
