A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions


Rules: (interactive)


1) Be nice and; have funDoxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling 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 spamPlease do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.


4) NSFW is okay, within reasonJust 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


7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.


Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

MODERATORS
 

Basically the title. I've looked around, but, well, discovery around here remains challenging even after two years.

If you were never at the told place, r/askculinary had relatively high standards for both posts and replies. It was almost as well moderated as r/askhistorians.

What that means practically is that the sub took the culinary arts seriously and expected serious answers to specific questions. Thanks!

Rule 5. Locking.

IME specialty communities like that usually require an unusually active userbase or dedicated content creator to last, suggesting that with the current Fediverse, one generally has to lower their expectations a little and find the best, active fit.

Some suggestions:

!cooking@lemmy.world (very active!)
!cooking@mander.xyz (less active, but a closer match)

Thank you, subbed.

And hard agree with your comment vis a vis the Fedivese and expectations.

Best way to hold Hollandaise for service?

Big ass thermos or a water bath but you’re holding butter and eggs at a dangerous temperature for long periods of time so I never eat hollandaise at restaurants.
