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.

Yeah... I tend to keep my accounts here as a "Do I really need/want the UI, or can I just do it on my main account?" and judge from there. Like. It's fair to me that Friendica, Mastodon, Hubzilla, and the *keys share a protocol. They're all doing the same fundamental thing in a slightly different way: Blogging/microblogging. What the fediverse was built on, largely.
It is weird to me that Lemmy, Bookwyrm, Funkwhale, and to a lesser extent PeerTube are all on that same network. A community-based content aggregator, book reviewer, music hoster, and video hoster on that same network feels weird, and as a result I do have a Lemmy, and a Friendica account. I don't care to have a Mastodon/GTS/*key account on top of it because they function near identically, but these are all fundamentally different pieces of software. You subscribe to one Lemmy community, and that's your entire feed now. Bookwyrm functionally can't use Mastodon posts, and you're not going to Mastodon for that flavor of book review, etc.
