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.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

To access/join communities on other instances, would I need to create an account on that instance? In the graphic it says I can only search for communities on that instance.
You can access and subscribe to communities in other instances as long as they are still federated (connected) with the instance your account is in.
Thank you! Still learning the ropes!
If you want to subscribe to a community on another instance, copy the URL of the community and paste it into the search of your own instance.
It might take several seconds while it searches but it should eventually show up, then you can click/tap on it and then click the subscribe button in the sidebar.
You don't have to make a new account for that instance, and communities on other instances should show up on search :)
