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.

New, Subscribed
New: There's a limited enough amount of content presently being submitted in the areas that I'm interested in that I don't feel the need to try to use votes to filter out things. It's not impossible that I'd move to something that accounts for votes in the long run, but it's not enough of a torrent yet.
Subscribed: I don't believe that trying to view All and then blacklisting everything that you don't want scales well. People can add communities all the time, and inevitably
there's a huge amount of stuff out there
a lot of it isn't stuff that I'm going to be interested in. It's like trying to blacklist the Internet
means a constant game of whack-a-mole. Also, "All" will only see communities that are either local to your home instance or where another user on your home instance has already subscribed to things, so especially on smaller instances, you may never see something that you're interested in that someone does create. I follow !newcommunities@lemmy.world, !communitypromo@lemmy.ca and hit https://lemmyverse.net/communities occasionally to find new communities of interest.
