Locked for now. Will reopen if there is interest.

Inspired by r/eli5 and Casually Explained.

Now Lemmy Explain: Starting the "Now Lemmy Explain" community.

I've always felt like the name "Explain Like I'm 5" is patronizing (yes, I know, it's from an Office joke). I want to see a community that's better and more entertaining to read than how it was on reddit.

Now Lemmy Explain: The Rules:

  1. All post title must start with "Now Lemmy Explain: "
  2. All topics are allowed (within reason) but try to avoid ones that will start a flame war.
  3. Keep your explanation concise and entertaining. Remember though, comedy is subjective.
  4. Be excellent to one another, and have fun.
  5. If you see someone else do a great job explaining a particular topic, you are encouraged to cross-post it here, but be sure to credit the original poster for their contributions.

As our community's name suggests, this is a place where "Lemmy" explains, and there are a lot of other places on Lemmy where people do a great job explaining things.

In the spirit of cooperation, here's Rule 5:

If you see someone else do a great job explaining a particular topic, you are encouraged to cross-post it here, but be sure to credit the original poster for their contributions.
