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.

Ohh one of those bragging questions.
I don’t see how it’s bragging. Everyone has their own lives, so the answers are bound to vary. It’s 9 a.m. and I was just thinking about how much I enjoy doing this every morning, which got me wondering what other people are into these days.
I don't know if you're genuinely curious how you come across to people. Not saying you should not post like you do, I find you amusing and like a fresh breath of air compared to the rest of the crowd here. Anyway my take on it:
"morning tennis" ok.
" in a bikini" minor thirst trap.
"followed by some time in the pool" minor bragging. Most people don't have easy access to a pool to bother going every day.
"I’m having a blast with my summer fling at his place in the south of France" Major bragging. Imagine someone stuck at work, if it's raining they wish it was sunny like in south France and if it's sunny they wish they could be out in the sun like you. You will trigger a lot of envy with this, and you of any one of us know how much people love the deadly sins.
thank you for this, actually. i don't give my posts much thought, my style is stream of consciousness combined with yapping. fun analysis to read.🫶
[Not original commenter]
My general tip for these ask-type communities is to put your question and clarification in the post, and put your own answer in a comment.
This way it reads more as a genuine question and not one meant mostly to get their own answer posted.
It also makes it more likely to actually get others answers and not derail the thread, as people tend to respond to what is written in the post instead of giving their own answer if the poster answers it in the post.
So you can still yap away in the comments, and get answers that aren't just nitpicking your own answer.
Good luck, have fun!
