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.

Eh, you can post, but people might just ignore it. So you're screaming into the void for the most part.
I'm a native Cantonese and Mandarin speaker, we have a Asian Diaspora comm, but most Lemmings are white westerners, so it's not gonna get much traction... but I mean... it's there... I don't think anyone has a problem with that.
I almost never post anything in Chinese because 1.4 billion of them are behind a firewall and they'll never find small platforms like the Fediverse.
I'm planning to post some poetry stuff in bilingual English and Chinese, like... its good emotional release... kinda therapudic for myself using multiple languages to engage the brain's emotions in multiple parts of the brain, only posting for personal reason tho, idc if anyone actually reads it. I don't have any friend to share it with, my stuff would be too political for Mainland Chinese internet.
Just post it, find the right community for it, if someone hates it, they have a block button for that community, or use word-blocking filters.
For what it’s worth, I (pasty-faced white guy) like seeing this stuff.
It’s just blotted out by the big (pasty-faced white guy) communities.
I have a proposal for this, actually: community “taxonomy” so smaller subs can bubble up through bigger ones. But I need to think on it some, overcome queued executive dysfunction, and raise the suggestion on the repos.
