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.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Just browse all and take the time to block every community you don't like the content of
Fediverse postings are probably also being used for AI training. Just so you won't be too shocked when it eventually comes out in the future.
Sure, but it hits different when there is a company of ill-repute specifically profiting off of your data acting as the broker.
Just go to communities and select all… go shopping!
Aside from the general recommendations, I've had the most fun finding stuff I'm into and posting/commenting to build a little momentum in the communities.
Most recently I've been into chess, so I've been fairly active in !anarchychess@sopuli.xyz and !chess@lemmy.ml
It depends on how much content you're looking for. You can't get the "infinite scroll" like you could on reddit, the user base just isn't there. The closest you can get is browsing all, but it's still limited. Search for communities based on your interests and then follow the communities that seem most active, as there will likely be duplicates. I left reddit last year when they killed the apps. I will say two things about my transition to lemmy: One, the content I do get is more tailored and specific. Two, I spend less time attached to my phone because new content isn't pouring in by the second. I view these as positives.
Also, if you put "old." in front of your URL you get the old view of the site, which I liked a lot more personally, so it's probably worth a try for you too.

its just silly pictures but is fun.
Welcome! It's difficult for me to suggest specific communities because my favorites to read are highly individual. I suggest sorting /all by Active, Scaled, and New to assist in discovery.
Finally, please participate and share content! Lemmy needs it to thrive.
I am making the insane people Facebook one really fun these days.

Interesting share, just posts of stuff people thought was interesting.
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !interestingshare@lemmy.zip
Try the Lemmyverse community search and use whatever keywords you are interested in. Subscribe to a bunch of communities and see if that brings interesting stuff to your front page. If you notice you’re seeing uninteresting stuff from certain communities, unsubscribe to those and keep on refining.
Also, if you’re interested in unexpected factorials, here’s the community for you.
!unexpectedfactorial@sopuli.xyz
It’s still pretty small and quiet, but anyone is welcome to post their factorial observations there.
I bailed around 8 months ago, I felt the same way and that was only 3 years into it. I block a lot of news type communities in all You'll notice some communities are similar/same as it is the local vs all of lemmy instances
!memes@lemmy.ml !asklemmy@lemmy.world !privacy@lemmy.ml !retrogaming@lemmy.world !starwarsmemes@lemmy.world (prequelmemes is small here mostly not active) !bikinibottomtwitter@lemmy.world !lotrmemes@midwest.social !lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world
