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.

Well, I did it this year finally after thinking about it for a decade+.
One of the reasons I did it was to document stuff for future me - if I never need to redo anything I wrote about, I have a perfect manual.
The other reason is to help the community. I sometimes tend to write about fairly obscure things (like creating a Matrix bot with E2EE enabled, or mixing Go and PHP using FFI) that might actually help someone if they search for it.
I don't know about you, but whenever I ask an AI something that's not really mainstream knowledge, it sucks so much so I have to search anyway, so tech blogs will always be needed.
Edit: I also took it as an opportunity to learn about ActivityPub, my blog is fully federated and you can read it here on Lemmy if you want. So if you can find some learning opportunity in there, go for it!
