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.

Been thinking about the Usenet days when everything was built out as a hierarchy like alt.sports.falcons.gogogo
It would be nice if it was still organized like this. It could make it easier to block entire hierarchies you’re not interested in, like sports.
That would be cool. I've never messed with usenet
Only a handful, I tend to only block communities that I'm completely disinterested in, find offensive, or are in languages I don't speak.
I have blocked exactly 10 magazines, all non-English.
Wow, not as much as I thought. I've blocked 3 communities, 3 users, and 2 domains.
Let's see...
One instance, one magazine (which was later deleted) and 17 users. I block bigots, people posting explicit things without tags, hostile people, and folk with genitals as their profile pic... mostly.
How can I tell? My first two days here and I've been blocking left and right.
The list should be in your profile
Not a whole lot (4 communities, 7 people, 3 domains), but posting to mention that if you're on kbin.social, you can block by domain like so:
https://kbin.social/d/facebook.com
Block button is on the right in the domain information panel.
Not sure if Lemmy has this feature yet.
It doesn't yet.
