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.

An instance not requiring email is going to be exploited by spammers and scammers, and probably defederated quite fast
The problem is that I can register with temp email on Reddit, while it's not an option on Lemmy.
Register with an Outlook or Tuta you use only for Lemmy.
Reddit also does shadowbans for suspected spam users, meaning you could be banned on sign up without realising, so do the same there.
theres more to the fediverse than lemmy. same content, different platform.
some will work with temp email, like https://moist.catsweat.com/
Bump. I know thebrainbin.org uses Anubis, so probably no Cloudfare? Not 100% sure if they automatically accept registration, but there doesn't appear to be any "enter a reason why you want to join" field like on a bunch of Fediverse sites that don't.
Reddit is bot-ridden
Discuss.tchncs doesn't require email. Not sure about cloudflare, but I don't think it was down a few days ago, so probably not using it
It requires email.
What you can do is to register with a bogus email and reach out to the admins for manual activation.
That's what I did, but with three important caveats:
- I used all the charm I could muster.
- The admins in question are exceptionally hoopy froods.
- I had (and hopefully still have) a reasonably long track record of being active on Lemmy with little to no scumbaggery.
