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.

There's the 90/9/1 rule - out of every 100 people 1 provides content, 9 interact and the other 90 lurk.
I created and post in a community, worldwithoutus but even after it got above 100 it's usually just me posting.
Duh. I just realised I need to get to 200 before the second poster emerges.
@livus Lol yeah, it seems more people sit and maybe comment but there's just so much room for people to talk about the topic and even do there own posts but I guess most people just want to look at it and not interact.
@SamXavia I think this is something about the fediverse though - in the old, centralised media we were often relatively passively consuming content spoonfed to us by alorithms. Here in the fediverse, it pays to be more active in building and finding content.
It's a bit of an adjustment in mindset and we're all in various stages of that.
