I like that when someone creates a community, It usually just becomes a diary for them being able to post what they wanna see, I think we could all be nicer to each other in these trying times

Edit: damn y'all, don't just say the bad thing you gotta say a good thing too

A1: Less bots, mods aren't malevolent, no Karma points just a simple up/down.

A2: Federation isn't easy for newbs to understand, communities are often too quiet, I still have to visit Reddit as any tech-related questions I have actually have answers there and there's SEO so it's found. I did also enjoy reddit "badges" for some reason. If your instance gets defederated, or goes down, you lose everything on it. Bots that are here are Reddit scrapers rather than new Lemmy content

well not really, like you can still find plenty of stuff from lemm.ee on other fediverse instances. it's mostly only text as the media's not copied usually though

less Ai slop, reddit is full of it right now, especially the ones that generate a post.

A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions

Rules: (interactive)

1) Be nice and; have fun

Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling 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.
