A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions

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.

MODERATORS
I have to admit. Reddit can be handy for finding solutions from other people for problems.
I wish Lemmy was comparable for this purpose. Perhaps someday.
reddit also recently got pretty bad, because they keep updating thier filters, or restrictions, or evasion detection. new and old users are the most susceptible to bans. and i read recently reddit has been automatically removing posts for no reason at all(but gearing the site to GOP friendly administration), with high rate of frequency without MOD input/or discussion.
Let the people cook - I've learned quite a bit from the technical communities ;)
Yeah, it took Reddit many years to become the treasure trove of information it became. I think Lemmy could get there eventually as various instances build up a larger archive of posts.
I do feel bad for the few users that have found some niche lemmy communities and asked a genuine question, only to get no replies. If it were in my sphere of knowledge I would answer them.
I try to join communities that have some of my hobby interests, even if super small, for exactly that reason. It can make someone's day! :)
