Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.

RULES

Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on [email protected]
Keep it clean and SFW
No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

You are free to pick an instance that aligns with your values and preferences for moderation. Its a double edged sword because it enables echo chambers which I think isnt great but it seems many people like those actually.

The sub's, filters, and block list serves as a manual replacement for the algorithm. Its hard building it up but once you do Lemmy becomes mostly enjoyable as long as you keep to what you like.
