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.

My main use for Lemmy is as a news aggregator, so these appreciation points are a little specific:
(News/politics communities) Basically rules that enforce quality submissions. No blogs, no YouTube/Tiktok/social media posts. No sources MFBC deems low credibility. No link shorteners, etc. All things to help combat mis/disinformation by making it immediately apparent where the news is coming from and that it has been vetted.
Removing infringing submissions as soon as is feasible and enforcing community rules consistently. It's also appreciated when there's a follow-up message (either DM from mod or via auto-moderator) letting you know why the action was taken.
Be a part of it. Interact in the comments, post quality content that acts as an example for submissions and sets the tone for the community.
