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.
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.

Thanks for the detailed opinion! Especially that some people find too many "Thank you" comments weird. And I mostly hesitate to paste links because I was unsure how much context is necessary. Next time I have a link with a short summary, maybe I will post it into the appropriate community.
Sometimes I see the same post cross-posted or even of the same community multiple times in my timeline and I am annoyed too. But I remember that this is just because there is not enough posts so that's why I am here asking these questions!
But a lot boils down to being nice, curious and a bit active.
Just to be clear, thank you to a quality comment when you don't have anything more to say is fine. The weirdness is when someone responds to every single commenter with something so generic and pointless you aren't even sure if they've actually read the content.
If you genuinely appreciate someone posting, feel free to say thanks. Also this is just one person's opinion and you should take from it what you find valuable and ignore the rest. No one says this is gospel. ๐
