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 !politicaldiscussion
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.

Is there a sub for lemmy related technical questions only?
Would be nice for specific implementation questions.
I think https://lemmy.world/c/techsupport is also for that, there's also a lemmy.ml tech support community, I don't remember exactly what its called though
Thank you. Yeah I found a Lemmy Support community on lemmy.ml, but for some reason I can't find it from my instance. Even tough it doesn't block any other instances as far as I'm aware. I did find if from monyet.cc for some reason.
In order for a community to come up in search, someone from your instance must have gone to it first
You can do this in a browser by typing in
https://(your.instance)/c/(community)@(community's.instance)
ah interesting, thank you for your help
no prob!
What are we allowed to ask then? Honest question
The way I understand it, no technical support questions (because there are other communties for that). Other than that any good faith questions about anything are okay, as long as it's not considered discriminatory, hateful or otherwise disruptive. And the mods decide what those latter three are.
Like asking something about fishing or cooking or life advice or anything you might want to ask someone.
Thank you a lot! Good explanation.
