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 [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.

Nope, Spez or one of his admin goonies fixed that for me.
Perma-banned, for stating facts about Elon Musk and his Boring Company's 'Not A Flamethrower'
Obligatory FUCK SPEZ

Inclusive AND 😂
I never left, I just started using both.
Probably the "final straw" would be shutting down old.Reddit. Unless they do something else unexpectedly awful that I haven't thought of.
No
Only when I'm googling a question and I see an answer in reddit.
Never interacting tho.
Nope.
Not unless a random search takes me there for a non-answer to my obscure question.
I didn't visit Reddit for 8 months or so after the API fiasco, but gradually started going back for a handful of niche communities whose fediverse counterparts are dead or nonexistent.
Yup. My town has a pretty active subreddit, and the Cyberpunk RED subreddit has great material.
I end up there sometimes but I don't seek it out anymore. I don't have the app on my phone.
Generally no. R/ sysadmin is very helpful; but I usually end up there from a search rather than browsing reddit
I use it for a couple of communities specifically for foreigners living in Japan as it's a great source of info from people who've been here longer than I have or have dealt with situations I have not. It's also useful for info on dealing with the obscenity that being an American citizen trying to invest for retirement while overseas brings (I can't use the ISA here or other tax-advantaged things because the US government considers them all PFICs which removes any tax advantage and causes even more pain after that).
Occasionally I'll use Redreader to check in and see if there is anything worth looking at. But for most of my scrolling and all of my comments I end up back on here.
I don't. I recently logged in just to see what i was missing. More than half my front page was ads, the next 30% was repost bots posting the generic questions for engagement. There were maybe 2-3 posts that were actual posts. I left.
I spend most of my time on Lemmy but when I'm on a desktop I'll check reddit occasionally. I refuse to interact at all though
Not really. Sometimes I'm there from search results but never logged in. Rif was reddit for me.
I've only registered to it when I feel I need to interact a little more than few on here. I'd last long enough until I'm shadowbanned or banned outright because of a report from an overly-sensitive redditard.
I keep registering just out of spite though because if Reddit cared about alts or shit, they'd re-tool their registration by now. But, Reddit never learns anything so why not keep abusing it.
It's only been getting longer between times though before I consider re-registering again. Just playing the whole ban evading whack-a-mole with them. But I do make my feelings known time to time about Spez because that shithead can still go fuck himself and that stupid grin of his.
Subscribed to the RSS for the one very local niche sub that i haven't found a substitute for. Other than just incidental search results that take me there.
i only use it when attempting to lure people to the 'verse from that terrible, bot-ridden cesspool
