Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Please don't post about US Politics. If you need to do this, try [email protected]
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.

Define "bizzare". You don't need to understand too much of federation to be able to use Lemmy.
Depending on what works and what doesn't, that mindset may or may not be required to use Lemmy.
I like Lemmy enough that I will likely spin up my own instance at some point
The keyword here is "don't need to understand too much " which is more than for TikTok or Reddit.
It's not (yet) very streamlined either, it's a little bit of work to make your stream of information coming etc.
Like how a server doesn't show you all the communities, "only" those users on that server have already subscribed to (+the locals).
Not that hard but harder than TikTok :-)
