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.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

MODERATORS
Keep in mind that the same article often gets posted to multiple communities on multiple instances, dividing up the comment pool.
I asked someone i know why they didn't join lemmy, their answer is lemmy is too fractured and they have to sub to multiple same community to get the full thing. I think it's a quirk of fediverse/ap protocol, where each instance could have and want their own community, and some instance user would like to stay in their own instance as well.
I like this part of lemmy. You can easily toggle whether you want posts/communities from your instance or globally. And I agree that some of the communities are redundant but I've found that it is easy enough to follow similar communities so my feed is all content I like.
Yeah, i don't mind that as well, i browse All instead of Subscribed so i'll be seeing the same stuff anyway. For people who got really used to reddit though, it's a challenge.
I view it as a benefit because it encourages a small world, tribal model which works better with human brains.
It's definitely different however, so I can see some friction if it's not what people are used to. Frankly I don't want one topic with thousands of comments, most of which won't get read.
I think one needs to transition away from the dopamine fueled high and focus more on what brings meaningful discussion and sharing of diverse opinions. With that said, I wouldn't be opposed to a feature that allows users to quickly jump to the same discussion on other instances or communities.
Maybe there should be an option to join the various conversations together if a user wants to see more content. That sounds pretty difficult to manage, though.
I'd be happy even if it was just Reddit's "other discussions" tab
A popular suggestion has been to implement the ability for communities across instances to 'subscribe' to eachother, which puts the networking of these communities in the hands of the moderators of that community.
I want that feature above all else.
That sounds like a reasonable way to handle it. Federated communities within federated instances.
