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.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try [email protected] or [email protected]
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Please don't let /c/asklemmy become like /r/askreddit, which had half of the front-page posts being the same sex related questions every month.
"Women of reddit, what non sexual thing that guys so makes you horny?"
"What is the sexiest thing you regret doing?"
"How many cocks have you sucked while your cat judges you while waiting for you to feed it?"
It was bullshit.
i think it's the wrong direction to try to police questions but instead empower users with the ability to filter by text or flairs
sex of sex, what is the sexiest sex you have ever sexed?
Gotta admit though, it was pretty cool when that subreddit simulation bot generated an askreddit thread titled something like "Redditors of Reddit, what's the biggest mistake my mom makes in bed?"
Let's all agree to actively downvote posts like that. Even if you don't vote normally, you have to do your part and always downvote those posts so they don't become popular.
I don't know why the mods of r/AskReddit still accepts these kind of posts when it would be more appropriate to do an NSFW r/AskReddit (if it doesn't already exist).
It did exist, just never stopped people from posting in the non NSFW one. It's a popular thing because people are always horny is the issue. Flairs and filters are the ideal solution I think.
AskReddit is big enough to include it all. Sure, there were tons of sex related questions, but there was also no shortage of any number of other kinds of questions that received hundreds+ comments as well.
We'll be waiting a bit before there's a com/mag that'll rival its size and potential for stories and mass anecdotes.
Remember this classic:
Ladies of Reddit - what is the most sexiest thing an overweight gamer has done that made you immediately want to have sex with him/be his girlfriend?
