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 !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
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 info@lemmy.world. 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 !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

I only show communities I'm subscribed to explicitly in my feed. I also block users like it's going out of fashion.
Anyone spamming things I don't care for in my feed, trolls, rage baters, or just people posting shit I have no desire to interact with our think about on the regular.
I'm using Lemmy mainly as an aggregator for memes, cat pictures, sci-fi, comics, and the likes, and like to be able to browse it on the bus or similar without worrying about what might show up.
If it's not for me, I'm most likely in the wrong community. If that's not the case I just block the poster. Nothing personal, it just doesn't jive with my desired experience for any number of reasons, so I just block it, ignore it, and move on.
Lemmy is for everyone, and I can't expect all of them to want the same out of it as me, so I can't, won't, and shouldn't do anything else about it.
