A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions

Please don't post about US Politics.

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 [email protected] or [email protected]. 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 [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

I don't get it, every post here that isn't about Linux or some serious topic seems to get downvoted to hell.

I like Linux as much as the next guy, but c'mon, not everything here has to be about it or serious topics...

Hey build you own jokes and more lighthearted posts with this easy table:

People of Lemmy / Women of Lemmy / Men of Lemmy / PoC of Lemmy / Queer of Lemmy / Parent of Lemmy (include your own favorite subgroup of awesome people here like arch users for example)
What's the stupidest thing / What's the wonderful thing / What is an activity / Which insanely popular or successful subject / what is a minor thing / what are some amazing facts / what are some boring facts / what is an unpopular opinion
you secretly hate / you secretly love / you openly hate / you openly love / that totally annoys you / that almost nobody knows / that should be socially acceptable
about your job / about love / about sex / about money / about this one friend / about this history trivia / about your family / about you favorite game / about you favorite hobby / about your favorite holiday
?

examples:

Women of Lemmy, what's the stupidest thing you secretly love about sex
Parent of Lemmy, which insanely popular or successful subject you secretly hate about your family

Go crazy enjoy the free karma
