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.

Cool communities but niche. He's isn't into any of them.
TIL music is niche.
Why not suggest the communities you follow? I assume your friend has similar interests as you.
I bet OP invented this mysterious friend just to get some good recommendations!
Whenever I recommend lemmy to friends, I point them to my feeds of non-politics, non-tech communities:
Nice feeds! I have added them to the Explore menu for everyone, now.
Wow, thanks!
Is there anything similar to this in Lemmy or one of its clients?
You can subscribe, follow and interact with other communities not on lemmy.world and other instances without making an account for each. I recommend piefed.social because their on boarding is awesome to get you started. You then can search for the communities suggested to easily follow them in piefed's view
Hmmm I dunno but here are a bunch of links on lemmy to most of those communities:
Feel free to copy and grow this list. We need to make it easier to find interesting spaces.
!castiron@lemmy.world!edc@sopuli.xyz
!campingandhiking@links.dartboard.social
!history@lemmy.world!imadethis@lemmy.zip
!origami@feddit.org!opensource@lemmy.ml
!piano@lemmy.world!poetry@lemmy.world
Where are all the PieFed communities? Also, putting commas between those communities would be doing everyone reading a favor.
They asked about Lemmy and all those communities are ones that I follow so when adding communities they auto populate for me.
I've already reformatted the links, they should all have breaks between each one.
If someone else wants to make a list of piefed communities they can take the time to make that post. I'm not sure why it's only up to me to make a list.
I’m not sure why it’s only up to me to make a list.
Oh, it's definitely up to you. Only you can create that definitive list! D:
But seriously, it's the breaks that are the problem, at least viewing from the PF side. It turns the comment in to a gargantuan one that breaks the flow of the rest of the comments. Commas could easily solve that problem.
On piefed with voyager as my frontend it shows up properly for me, although it doesn’t look like OP has used the markdown convention of double spaces before a line break. Maybe that’s why it’s not displaying for you? Are you on the web frontend?
Yessir (or pronoun of choice). It shows up for me the length of ~4 full-screen pages. So from Voyager they all look clustered together, then?
Oh no sorry I misunderstood your comment, I thought you meant you weren’t seeing line breaks and couldn’t read this comment. I understand now lol
Word.
Start with All and begin subscribing and blocking as needed.
Fair warning if your instance isn’t defederated from lemmy.nsfw there will be a LOT of porn
You can also just block instances, I've got most of the porn ones and tankie ones blocked
Start with All and begin subscribing and blocking as needed.
I've weirdly found that it's even harder to curate ALL on the FV than it is on Reddit. The process of blocking takes a couple more clicks, and you're only blocking a single community, not the group associated with that subject.
Also, there's an unbelievable amount of niche communities that for some reason seems even more gargantuan than at the other place. I must have hundreds blocked by now, and my ALL feed is still as weird and unpredictable as ever.
I only block what will never interest me or is somehow flooding All. After about a week I found myself spending most of my time in my subscribed communities.
Unfortunately that doesn't work at all for me, perhaps due to coming from different software / instance. Ah, the complications of using the FV...
Anyway yeah, subscriptions have been the way to go for me, rarely hitting ALL. Helpfully, when you sign up here, you can fill out a series of checkboxes, and PieFed.Social will auto-subscribe you to a bunch of relevant communities.
microblog memes and the greentext/4chan ones (the general attitude of 4channers is not replicated by the people there, lol)
For sure, start with !bestoflemmy@lemmy.world and !lemmy411@lemmy.ca
And here are some of my favorite communities I would recommend.
!general@lemmy.world (General Discussion)
Doesn't matter what community they sign up for, they are all the same comments. Trump sucks and do you use Arch Linux?
The NSFW communities have very few serious discussions, probably because it's harder to type with your left hand only, lol. And I'm not there either but probably some gaming communities?
Are there any free nsfw communities? I don’t object to them being paid—totally reasonable given the bandwidth required. Just wondering what options I have for my poor wallet.
Titties and dicks appear (blurred but still) on my feed all the time and I haven't paid anything in Lemmy. 🤷
Blurred on feed but then available if you click through to the post?
Ofc, ofc. 👍
