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
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Native Web interface on desktop. Eternity for Lemmy on Android. Interstellar for PieFed on Android.
EDIT: While the last time I used Mbin on Android, there was only the PWA client, I suppose I'd probably at least try Interstellar for Mbin if I were using an Mbin instance right now. Can't vouch for it specifically on Mbin instances, though; no experience with it there. My assumption is that the experience would be pretty much the same as Interstellar elsewhere.
EDIT2: On the desktop Lemmy native Web interface, I do use the Firefox add-on Instance Assistant for Lemmy & Kbin on Lemmy instances. Lemmy doesn't really have a great way to link to anything other than communities via bang links (!community@instance); any other link (like, if someone wants to link to a comment or post) takes you off your home instance. You will probably run into links that take you off your home instance. This sticks a button in the sidebar of Lemmy instances to let you bounce to the same page as viewed through your home instance.
If you use a PieFed home instance, it tries to deal with this by rewriting links in posts and comments targeting other Threadiverse instances to aim at pages on your home instance. That has some benefits
simpler for an end user
but also some problems in that it's kind of obnoxious if someone explicitly wants to link to a page on another instance. But if you're using a PieFed home instance, you probably won't run into that problem, so you won't need the add-on.
I don't know whether and if Mbin attempts to address the problem.
