Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Please don't post about US Politics. If you need to do this, try [email protected]
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either [email protected] or [email protected].
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

You are registered on lemmy.world - that's your instance.
The accidental renaissance community is separated into two distinct communities on two separate instances (not sure why they did this, instead of unifying into one): one on kbin.social, and one on lemmy.blahaj.zone. As they are separate, you probably want to subscribe to both.
You can access both communities using your lemmy.world account, but you need to edit the URL a bit to ensure you remain on your home instance (lemmy.world):
So instead of going to
https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/c/AccidentalRenaissance
for example, you need to instead head over to:
https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected]
https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected]
You'll notice that we append
@the_name_of_the_instance_the_community_is_located_onto the end of the URL. Obviously, you don't need to do this for communities hosted on lemmy.world since... you're already here.You can also link them in comments easily using an exclamation mark, e.g [email protected] and [email protected]
There are ways to automatically ensure you're always on your home instance, so that this is less confusing. Personally, I use the Lemmy Universal Link Switcher script via the Tampermonkey browser extension. This ensures that all lemmy links are changed so they always lead to my home instance, lemmy.world.
Thank you! This helps so much :)
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected]
