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 [email protected]
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.

I’ve seen a lot of people say that kbin is better but I’ve really gravitated toward Lemmy. What makes it better to you?
The UI and UX (save for replying at the bottom), integration with Mastodon et al, the auto expand images option and appearance customizablity, the concept of tweeting in a sub, how users centralize on the main server (ironic ik)
The only dealbreakers I can think of are the weird rep system (boosting gives rep, upvoting doesn’t, downvoting subtracts rep) and the lack of API, both of which they are supposedly working on
Oh and also 196 isn’t full of gay NSFW text that isn’t tagged as NSFW
Also, sorting posts/threads works a lot better on Kbin. Meanwhile on Lemmy you might get a 21d-old post while sorting by hot.
