Sometimes I miss the ol' switcheroo. That was a fun way to take a random walk through a bunch of communities I would never normally visit.

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 !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
8) No Bots.
Posts or comments from bots, LLM's, AIs, Neural Networks, Transformers, or Marvin the Paranoid Android are not welcome in AskLemmy. Real humans only please.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

I hope at some point people will add inurl:lemmy to their G***** search to get better results.
Lemmy urls may not neccessarily have the word lemmy in them.
Why are you censoring "Google"?
That was his password, Lemmy automatically obscures your password when you type it.

See? I can't even see what you typed, all asterisks. The security is top notch. I'll even put my social security number *** ** **** and Lemmy automatically keeps it secure.
TIL commenting just asterisks appears to show a blank comment
And adding words turns those asterisks into a line
Ballsy, just casually dropping the G-word here!
I've sometimes tried that with some rare successes, but I think we should have made it a requirement for instances to include "lemmy" somewhere in the domain name.
Intentional jokes with community names - anime_titties, trees, superbowl
!superbowl@lemmy.world is already a thing, but I've said before and am repeating here that this is a lot less funny on a platform where "superbowl" on other instances can still be communities about the Super Bowl than on reddit where there could be only one "superbowl" subreddit
Yeah. It loses the fun on the joke when it is just ported over from a different site. It is history now, not comedy.
!trees@lemmy.world
Already here, esteemed Internet stranger :)
anon6789 is a fucking champ. I don’t know how they churn out posts about owls and keep them high quality, but they do.
Owls are just that awesome! Makes it easy to find good stuff.
We also have equally if not even more complete content for Opossums here on Lemmy.
Certified expert popping out of nowhere to explain technical stuff in a casual discussion.
Rage comics, narwarls bacon at midnight, poopknife, BothArmsBroken /s
Seriously though, a poemforyoursprog would be welcome addition. In the same vein shittywatercolor. Maybe even some shittymorph "In 1985 mankind....". Nah, scratch that last one.
I miss SchoodleDoodleDoo's poems.
Here's the thing...
"You said a 'jackdaw is a crow.' "
I have become the GallowBoob of Lemmy comments. Look upon me and despair.
Idk maybe some old school redditism, like the redditueqette and something like that, but I think we already have this mostly speaking
Nah, downvote is still used as a disagree button instead of a unconstructive button. Reddiquette was a nice idea but it has never been the norm.
We are all KenM on this blessed day
None that I can think of, honestly.
Honestly can't think of any that aren't already here.
