Ask Lemmy
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
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Left reddit during the api/apps fiasco.
There are DOZENS of us!
…No? I’m pretty sure that was the first massive wave of relatively diverse active users. Lemmy was pretty fringe before that happened. I think there are tens of thousands of us.
That's a LOT of dozens!
Same. Reddit without Relay isn't worth it
RiF here, but agreed. (Now Voyager)
Me too
Same here! My app stopped working (rip rif.... You will be missed...!), I thought I give the official reddit app a try, it wouldn't let me log in no matter what I tried and then I heard of lemmy via feddit. Only went back once to delete all my data and to close my account.
In hindsight, I'm really glad reddit did this. They single handedly gave their competitor (Lemmy) critical mass to be a true alternative. Without enough users, it's just not the same.
Saaame.
I used the reddit app many many moons ago, but then discovered Boost. Once it quit working flawlessly, Lemmy became home. And Boost for Lemmy is wonderful :)
This is/was the way. I mean, not that people are not welcome here now but still supporting reddit that long is like supporting Elon after he went mad or Trump after the first time around..
I never paid for any of their products but now that I'm banned I see how much the profit off of everyone's knowledge. It's really such a scam. Convince everyone to contribute tons of useful information that when the rest of the Internet does searches it leads directly to Reddit where they get ad revenue for every click. Pretty unscrupulous if you ask me.
Yep. Also left digg during their ad push fiasco to go to reddit.
This. Fuck reddit
Same. I still miss bacon reader.
Me too, although I also switched instances from lemm.ee to lemmy.ca when they shut down
Same. Used rif.
