A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions

Please don't post about US Politics.

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.

Does anyone else resent the links to Reddit? (aussie.zone)

I keep seeing communities which seem to consist of nothing but a bot that reposts stuff from Reddit.

What’s the point? Really? I ain’t posting a comment about a funny thing there. No one seems to post about the the second-hand funny thing here.

Can we please just sever ties with that shithole altogether?

Liberal use of the block feature has made the Fediverse so much more pleasant. I can't recommend it enough!

This is why I don't think the Lemmy platforms will really grow to Reddit size until we solve this problem. Most folks don't want to curate their own feed when they first explore a social media platform. That usually comes later after they've been drawn in.

What Lemmy and kbin could really use is a set of default subscriptions that are curated by instance admins to provide the best new user experience.

For that matter, default block lists wouldn't be so bad either

That's true. It would be cool if we could "subscribe" to a curated block list, sort of like we do with AdBlock plugins.
