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.

Shouting at it will solve the remaining 2.3% of edge cases.
I believe you meant to recommend percussive maintenance...that's when you hit it to get it to start working.
May or may not work with bridgemen. Try guilt-tripping, storm it.
YOU'RE NOT MY SUPERVISOR
but yeah, seeing dozens of support related questions kinda goes against the expressed purpose of this community.
Really hope it works this time
That support community is for lemmy.world related questions, you can go to [email protected] for tech questions about anything
Noted and post modified, thanks for the clarification.
Maybe a bot would be useful to detect when a post is a support question, and reply with links to the support communities? Unfortunately I don’t think newcomers will read the pinned post or previous posts about this that have come up.
Well, when I or someone else has writing a bot for that, it will indeed be a good idea lol
Is there a sub for lemmy related technical questions only?
Would be nice for specific implementation questions.
I think https://lemmy.world/c/techsupport is also for that, there's also a lemmy.ml tech support community, I don't remember exactly what its called though
Thank you. Yeah I found a Lemmy Support community on lemmy.ml, but for some reason I can't find it from my instance. Even tough it doesn't block any other instances as far as I'm aware. I did find if from monyet.cc for some reason.
In order for a community to come up in search, someone from your instance must have gone to it first
You can do this in a browser by typing in
https://(your.instance)/c/(community)@(community's.instance)
ah interesting, thank you for your help
no prob!
What are we allowed to ask then? Honest question
The way I understand it, no technical support questions (because there are other communties for that). Other than that any good faith questions about anything are okay, as long as it's not considered discriminatory, hateful or otherwise disruptive. And the mods decide what those latter three are.
Like asking something about fishing or cooking or life advice or anything you might want to ask someone.
Thank you a lot! Good explanation.
Why not both?
“IT enthusiasts of Lemmy, how would you tackle x or y problem?”
Could lead to some interesting answers but i agree that follow up questions and expectations to actually get the problem fixed should be somewhere else.
There's definitely some grey area, but mainly we're trying to not have this community be spammed with things like "why can't I view pictures" and "the server is down someone do something"
alt.sysadmin.recovery here I come.
You removed my post that was not support related. I can only presume it was because it was simply about Lemmy (not a request for help or how to use the site) and you misinterpreted your own rule.
Also, the post just disappeared. No reference to it again, no explanation.
Would be nice to see you enforcing the rules as they’re actually written and also at least provide some explanation about what happened.
For one, if your post was removed we are required to put a removal reason to remove it.
Two, I see no record of it in the mod log. Are you sure it just wasn't a victim of the intermittent downtime issues lemmy.world has had these past few weeks?
I'm not the OP, but I've noticed comments sometimes not being posted. There are probably a few glitches in Lemmy software or the clients still.
Wow, it's literally 1984
Better believe it. :)
Ah, so you are making the same mistake that the reddit group did. OK, thanks for the warning, I'm heading out.
I don't understand. What mistake is that?
Turning this group into a place of mindless blabbering like it is on reddit.
It actually could be a place to ask questions and get meaningful answers from people in the know.
There are other communities dedicated to support questions. I think it makes good sense to separate it from this community.
More often than not, they are hard to find. The problem with this charta is that it basically also forbids questions like "where would I find help about <whatever topic/problem>"
I stay with my point that this stupid limitation makes this a worthless babbling group.
