1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of “discuss” rarely comply with this rule.

2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.

3. Avoid repetitive topics.

4. This isn't an advice forum

Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.

There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.

Some other communities to consider before posting:

5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.

6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.

7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with “So” - starting a post with pointless phrases, like “I hope this is allowed” or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

I bought a horse trough, drilled a hole in it and put a sink drain thing to catch the dog hair. Then I put in some tether mounts to be able to tie down our dog's collar's

Sir, this is the dullsters community, and this dog bath is pretty awesome. I'm gonna have to ask you to take your great DIY skills and adorable dog to a less dull community.

Seriously. That metal is shiny, too.

This guy's a phoney!

This is right. The real dull drums would beat like "I just gave my dog a bath in a tub for humans that already existed in my home."

Nb. This is the biggest downside to the fediverse. 😂

I've got one of these that I used to use as a guinea pig cage; have been wondering how to repurpose it now that our little guys have moved on to the great guinea pig cage in the sky. This sounds like an excellent idea.
