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.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

NB and NovaScotia are real salt-of-the-earth communities, but one of them run by apparently a thuggy oil baron family and both of them victimized by their own voting.
I've spent more time in NS, so when I say "there's only one 2-lane road to get anywhere," it's from my own experience driving though lower Sackville and other small towns on small town roads and all but chewing the steering wheel in frustration and metropolitan impatience. It's true, but I could be more patient.
But both are blessed with just stunning scenery and usually very nice people whose accents you can still parse properly ;-)
My in-laws - absolutely great people - have lived there 20 years now - still considered newcomers - and have terrible Internet and dodgy winter power; but if you can suffer that I can't recommend it more for the peace and the community feeling.
I HAVE heard that Calgary (Alberta) has been judged the best city to live in, given opportunities and cost of living. If you can live in an oasis of clue in a blue sea of our conservatives and their voters, I recommend that as well. It has mountains nearby (and Reddit Lake aka Moraine Lake), so there's that for the sanity.
