Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Please don't post about US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world
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.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

It would be cool if
Lemmy Explorerwere linked to directly by lemmy instances in a way new users could find it easily. Maybe even a popup when you first log in that says recomments it and maybe some other things for finding communities.I was thinking that too. It would be a lot easier for new users if they were already subscribed to some communities so they get a feed with posts and can get started, ask questions, add or remove communities etc.
Maybe not tie it to Lemmy explorer but at least let people have some starting point.
Or they can at least be directed to browser and sort
AllorLocaland told exactly how to subscribe to a community they see and find interesting.I agree. It'd also be cool if you could just click the community link and it'd automatically load your instance-specific link somehow (if it doesn't already do this?).
It's gotten better with the latest version, but the link needs to be formatted appropriately, which I'm not entirely on top of.
