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.

I use it less. I find the user-base a) very hostile to diverse opinions and experiences, b) very American-centric, and c) very leftwing and authoritarian.
I also have difficulty with discoverability. If I can’t find good communities, I can’t interact with them.
Yeah I tend to agree on this centiment and I'm generally quite left wing leaning myself the userbase reminds me alot of tankie subs such as r/greenandunpleasent I come here to shitpost not to see posts about the evils of capitalism on the main meme sub I can deal with the American centric posts I think that's fine just not the hostile userbase Jesus christ there all miserable bastards
I mean for christ sakes my first shitpost got raided by angry conumismist vegan mob you can check it for yourself if ya want
That was basically my first foray into Lemmy too. Angry mobs of activists doing everything they can to ensure Lemmy never becomes popular. Then my Lemmy.ml account got temporarily banned for claiming the Xinjiang genocide is real. They don’t like criticism of China on Lemmy.ml.
They don't like many things on lemmy .ml I'm fairly certain .ml is the devs instance
Yeah it was the dev I was arguing with: Dessalines.
There are loads of good and great communities within the Fediverse and Lemmy. Maybe the spaces you're seeking have been defederated?
Are there any good discoverability tools?
Yeah try lemmy explorer
