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 !politicaldiscussion
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.

Surprisingly less porn than you'd imagine. Though I go a different way, I browse all (because of FOMO) but block communities that post stuff I don't want to see. Now I have a very tailored all feed that also includes new stuff I might not have known about to subscribe to.
Yep, I do this as well. It's like subscriptions plus surprises.
This is the way to go. I encourage everyone to block users too. Lots of them. It really does affect your experience of the site. I sometimes scroll thru the comments of some controversial topic only to find the most extreme commentors that bring nothing of a value to the conversation just so that I can pre-emptively block them. I'd say that 3 times out of 4 when I log out to see a comment that a blocked user wrote I just find that I did the right decision.
