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.

we should make a new one and then make a new one again so that the community is split into smaller and smaller pieces with less users and the whole fediverse thing can be less interesting overall
Tell that to the instance admins on lemmy.ml who ban people from communities they've never so much as heard of for making offhand comments. Or to Steve Huffman himself who should have done Reddit the "right" way?
Seriously, all FOSS is good. Being able to start up your own instance, either Lemmy or PieFed, is good. The fact that they all communicate together is great.
If PieFed brought an additional 100k content creators to the Threadiverse, that only enhances the user experience, even as viewed narrowly from purely the Lemmy side.
I for one have accounts on both Lemmy and PieFed, and while I use PieFed far more often lately (since it offers far more features that I like?), I do legitimately use both for different purposes. I revel in having options to choose from!:-)
i don't care about the lemmy.ml drama because im not on there
Right, because you have alternatives to have an account on instead:-). This is an example of where divisiveness can be a good thing - we don't all have to be on the same instance, or even using the same software, whether Lemmy vs. PieFed vs. Mbin vs. nodeBB vs. flarum (eventually), or Mastodon or Friendica, all of it can be interconnected. I would argue that this makes the Threadiverse a more interesting place to be, actually. Because I definitely would have gotten kicked off of or voluntarily left lemmy.ml long ago, if that were the only option available...
piefed and lemmy users see the same content though
