Ask Lemmy
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.
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.

What could they be? I mean, if you don't like a specific instance, or if it stops working, you just stop using it and create an account elsewhere (saying that as a piefed user, btw ;)
Yeah, I just made the switch to piefed some days ago. Isn't there a saying don't put all your eggs in one basket? My first accounts were on kbin and fmhy.ml, but they're not around anymore. I made the switch to lemmy.world, then learned about piefed and since I like the features it had I made the switch to it.
What features are those?
The ones most important to me are:
tagging features, tagging hotmaps for communities, search by tag, comments from crossposts is combined to the viewer (there's a divider to show which community),
when someone posts from a certain instance like beehaw you get a reminder about their community standards, user flairs
less resources needed to load stuff (great for third-worlders like me), post and comment subscriptions, feeds (something similar to a multireddit)
topic categories (do note that topic ≠ community) like Regional > Asia > Philippines in which each topic category shows all posts made by communities in the category. For example if you are in Topic: Regional you get posts from all regional communities, in Topic: Asia you get posts from all communities based on Asia.
