Can we please get a post that explains what this community is for? Seems like nobody reads the sidebar (which is hard to access on most mobile clients) so we constantly get flooded with questions that would rather fit in !lemmy_support@lemmy.ml or !fediverse@lemmy.world

I understand that many people are still confused by how lemmy works but we should make clear that this is for general questions and discussions similar to what /r/askreddit was and not a place to ask technical questions about lemmy.

I was thinking about suggesting a default bot response to every post. Something along the lines of “hey are you looking for actual lemmy support? If so go here…”

I normally hate autoreply bots with a vengeance, but here is a clear case where it is needed!
