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 [email protected] or [email protected].
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 [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Both.
Here because communities need nurturing to thrive. Some have really started to do well, others will get there eventually if people engage (post, comment).
There because there are a lot of established communities, especially niche ones, across tons of platforms that are still worth engaging with.
I posted in a nintendo sublemmy a few days ago. No one had posted there in months. It instantly got 25 upvotes, and commenters are winding down now, but with such a slow sublemmy, it's going to stay on their front page for years.
Then one guy gave me shit for putting my opinion in the title, and not in the message body with some long form essay on the topic. And people upvoted him. Still don't get that one, but if I were easily offended I'd have deleted the post so people wouldn't see him mocking me for years. It would discourage some others from posting in dead communities that have a following. Whereas I'm trying to figure out how to post pictures for my next post.
We should post in one quiet sub each day.
Lemmy has the issue that it's user base is small and click-y. Still better then Reddit though.
