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 [email protected] or [email protected].
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 [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

The same as many others: sharing content I like, participating in comments more often, and generally being more active than I usually am. Also been trying to build a community at [email protected], but I don't know that it's going anywhere. Obviously most people will head to [email protected] because it was more popular on Reddit.
Trying to start an international community on a regional instance is an uphill battle, people will see the .ca domain and assume the community is focused on Canada.
That's fair! I am guilty of thinking that when I see certain instance names but I hope we can shake that habbit. After all, having everyone make alt accounts and relying on more generic-sounding instances for all communities is a bad idea. Lemmy.world already has too many hosted there.
