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.

In general, the "what's your favorite [x]?" questions, where [x] is movie, album, game, or the like. Few people share anything about the title, or why it's meaningful to them, and very little discussion ensues, because, what's to talk about? It just tends to result in a list of media (most of which I've heard of) connected to screen names of people I don't know. Not usually worth reading.
I'm guilty of asking these questions lol.
I just distrust google results with "TOP 10 [Movie/TV] you MUST watch", reddit is also kinda sussy with a lot of default Word_Word_1234 names, so fediverse is the only place left to actually get recommendations.
And the reason why ask even if there might be a similar thread in the past, is maybe there's something new released since the time after the previous person asked.
But yea I think people answering should provide a short description on what it's about, otherwise its just a title in a sea of titles.
