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.

Trying to make a doc for migrants. Just the overview. Got the cold shoulder from one of the small web guys equating Lemmy to heroine. Essentially 'either do it like me or you are wrong'
Same as it ever was online.
As for me? Missing a few communities. Kinda head scratching at things over all, but it could be worse.
Both want to make a few instances and have no energy to babysit them.
There's a few communities I'm missing still, mostly shitpost and fan fiction subs. I'd like to start them but I'm still not sure of my own footing yet.
There is !fanfiction@literature.cafe
Yeah I had initially checked it out but seeing that there were so few posts and all over a year old was a little disheartening.
Go post!
We call them "instances" round here. A sub is my mom according to my friend
An instance is not the same as a community/sub.
Working on it. Little lonely since most of communities from reddit don’t seem to be here but still searching so we’ll see.
Definitely feeling like I need to install linux on my mac though, perhaps as some sort of initiation?
Ah, the good old hackintosh routine!
Wouldn't recommend linux on a mac unless it's an old model (like ~2012)
M1 not old enough? I can already feel Apple trying to kill it.
There's Asahi linux for M1 but the dev that runs it is a bit of a nutter. Also apple software just works best with its hardware (until the planned obsolesence of your hardware happens and suddenly nothing works).
Well that saves me a bit of work for now then. I’ve got all my old phones/ipads though so perhaps it’s time to try tinkering with things there
There are a few tools like lima that let you play around with Ubuntu from macOS if you are still curious. Also an official one from Canonical (company behind Ubuntu linux) whose name I forget now that does a similar thing. Essentially you get a user friendly linux VM to play around with.
The peer pressure (and stupid broken updates from MS) finally got me to install linux about 8mos into using lemmy. It's pretty great, though - wish I'd done it sooner.
Went with mint right after the announcement of tpm 2.0 since I'm running an off lease decade old office box.
What're you running?
When I joined I felt like I moved to a village after living in a metropolis. There's positives and negatives to that, but in the end Lemmy satisfies my doomscrolling needs so I'm never coming back to reddit.
When you need to doomscroll.
Why not scroll wikipedia?
Oh wow I love that!
I encourage you to create them and foster them.
Let me get through the welcome newcomers stuff first! :)
Definitely better at navigating this week than last
Good to hear!
Enjoying it. I'm loving the filters I can use to limit some of the political spam.
