Ask Lemmy
26282 readers
1328 users here now
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.

MODERATORS
That is one unavoidable, and actually desirable, trait of Lemmy as a whole: the existence of one community in one server doesn't stop you from creating a similar one elsewhere.
Perhaps some will decide to merge. Perhaps they won't. Some might be badly moderated and users will avoid it, some might have great content and naturally attract people.
Sometimes you'll follow both because they're both active and good. Sometimes there will be 10 different ones but one is clearly the dominant and most active so you don't even bother with the others.
This isn't something you should worry about. Browse the community, do you like it? Join in. Don't like it? Don't join.
Even in reddit you had multiple subs dedicated to basically the same thing. Like r/interestingasfuck and r/damnthatsinteresting, and all the memes subs
Thanks for the reply.
It's just a change coming from reddit where there was only one r/askreddit and it was the dominant and active one as there couldn't be another r/askreddit. I'm still adjusting to there being multiple Lemmy servers.
There were like a brazillion Ask subs, what are you talking about? I was active on at least a dozen of them at one time or another.
There were/are a bunch of "Ask ____" subs, yes; I was subscribed to many of them. But there was only one r/AskReddit, which most closely aligns with the purpose of the two lemmy communities referenced in this post.
