A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Please don't post about US Politics.
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.

Once I figured out how to make lemmy look a lot like what I was getting from Reddit and HN, I haven't been back to either. Now I have a single RSS feed in my reader to my personal Subscribed/Active page. The RSS link you can get from your instances website while logged in includes some kind of ID to your personal feed so there's no authentication needed and I never have to change anything there, if I join a new community, it starts showing up in my RSS reader, if I unjoin, it goes away. It's quite glorious. I've found good/active enough communities to replace what I followed at the old places and the comments sections are far less flooded with nonsense.
I'm on Mastodon a bit, and I do really like it, but it wasn't a replacement for me, I was off Twitter and the like for about 7 years already when I decided to try it.
RSS was all I could've ever asked for back then. And then it was gone.
Reddit and HN still have RSS. Are you referring to other sites? I quit all the other ones long ago.
