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.

I'm trying to move my news off social media and on to RSS. I set up an RSS reader with a handful of trusted and varied news sources (some mainstream, some independent, some local, some foreign) and now I'm starting to filter out news from Lemmy and other social networks.
Some things I quickly noticed is that not having a comments section is actually great, I can jump straight to or past subjects I'm not in the mood for, and there's no endless scroll but if I feel there's too little I can add more sources and if there's too much I can take some out. I still also use Lemmy so if I find an interesting new blog or website, I can add it to my RSS reader to keep following it instead of relying on strangers posting new content and it getting voted up. This lets me focus more on the smaller special interest groups that social media is actually good for.
