Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
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.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try [email protected] or [email protected]
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

I believe the owner of Lemmy World said that the lemmy.world community should stay on topic and just be about the instance in general and people moved general memes/off-topic chats elsewhere. That's probably why your post is locked.
Really? Okay. If they're starting to piss of people who post stuff in good faith while still on a learning curve, I'm gonna be out of here in no time.
Man, I don't think locking your post is an insult or anything, they just don't want the community to be flooded with people talking about Reddit. It's not like you got banned.
??? They’re actually being nice to still keep them, instead of removing them.
You have to read the community info. That community is for discussing lemmy.world and providing support/ updates. There's a stickied post at the top explaining it further. There are communities to discuss Reddit.
I agree that its very confusing especially since thats the “default” top community recommended when posting, and has the same name as the entire instance so sounds like its a general discussion community when in fact its reserved for admin announcements. But at the same time I think everyone (including @Ruud and others) are on a learning curve so i don’t think you should take it personally. We’ll all figure things out soon :)
