Ask Lemmy
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.

It would be cool if crossposted posts would have like a common comment thread or something like this: a crosspost does not copy the post to another community, it creates a "softlink" to the original post. This way, everything done to any of the crossposted post (vote, comment, mark as viewed) would be also applied to other crossposted posts. This way, we would only see a single post instead of 15 posts, and we wouldn't miss any comment from any of the communities it is crossposted. Obviously, users may wish to just copy the post to another community. What do you think about this? Should we open an issue on github about this?
Anything that would consolidate the posts and threads would be a step in the right direction.
