Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, 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 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.

Having to block 30 different communities because they're all literally the same community.
It's even worse for NSFW communities. We don't need eleventy billion communities for the same super niche porn content.
That and people posting the same things on multiple communities because it technically fits even though there's already a niche community specifically for that topic.
The nice thing about having an instance dedicated to porn is that you can just block one instance, and that gets you 90% of the way there.
Crossposting the same post is kind of pointless still. You can browse all and won’t miss anything.
The NSFW stuff is mostly automated reposting from somewhere else. It’s low quality and kind of worthless.
This is the biggest thing, in my opinion. Decentralization is a double-edged sword.
If I cared about my Lemmy usage more, I might be inclined to build myself a service that aggregates similar topics into larger groups.
