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.

MODERATORS
yeah..Reddit mods are destroying it.
Quick tip for moving accounts:
Export your profile from your current account, then import into the new one. Keeps subscriptions and even saved comments/posts, but doesn't include any of your post history. Its in the settings of the web app, when you are logged in.
Just make sure the next server you use has at least Lemmy 1.9.5 (I think) which was the first version with that functionality.

Iβm pretty fond of SJW
I was gonna look for a social justice warrior instance lol
I second this. Variety of communities, not generally a creepy or racist shithole, mostly neutral politics and moderation, shit just works
The main alt I use for the family TV is on SJW. Federated with basically all of the other mainstream instances but no porn.
No porn is appealing. Nothing against porn but I read Lemmy in public a lot and i hate playing whack a mole with nsfw communities.

yeah, lemmy.world is a good starter server. To find your next one:
- look here to see the relative server sizes (sort by "MAU" = Monthly Active Users): https://fedidb.org/software/lemmy
- look here to see who is defederated from each other: https://defed.xyz/
Also, consider going past the first page on FediDB and picking a smaller instance. I'm not knocking the big instances (I volunteer my time to two of the biggest, after all). It's just that the whole point of this Fediverse experiment is for things to be distributed. Going by the numbers on FediDB, fully half of all monthly active Lemmy users are concentrated on the three largest instances.

Most instances to be honest. Just make note of the blocked instances and see if they don't block anything you wish to see.
Unless you want local to be diverse, that is.
I've been thinking about switching over to Lemmy.today
Whatβs wrong with lemmy.world though? Itβs the biggest general server and will probably outlast most others.
Not liking what I've seen from the moderation lately.
The administration or the moderation? Either way, if thatβs your issue, then you know which criteria to look for, on a new server.
As in their heavyhanded defederation?
Lemmy.sdf.org
Or sh.itjust.works are good with a (very) light touch on the defederation trigger

Lemmy Shit Post is the best for just a laugh and with little political nonsense
