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.

MODERATORS
Did you expect something else from a link aggregator?
Yes. Reddit would not be what it is were it not for discussion.
The discussion is in the comments. It's even a meme that no one reads the article before commenting.
Most valuable and interesting info is not in the news liknk comments. But in personal posts and q&a.
People add "reddit" to the Google search, not to find s comment for news link.
In subreddits I was subscribed/active most of the post were not news/links at all: they were questions, personal experience etc.
The Discussion can still be there? Linking to a content is almost no different than Uploading said content straight to the instance, said content could even be OP's OC but uploaded to their own server for possibly many reasons, including true content ownership or saving the instance the data transfer costs
But this choice in no way stops conversation from happening, if nobody engages with a Linked News Article, the same Article copy pasted straight into the Instance wont get attention either
According to Wikipedia, lemmny is news aggregator and discussion forums.
A LOT of posts, even some with 30 or 50 upvotes have no comments....
Some of the best parts (also the worst parts) of reddit were comment threads.
