Ask Lemmy
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.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try [email protected] or [email protected]
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

I'm not saying that lemmy.ml isn't communist. The application process and moderation cultivate communism and some pro-Russian, pro-CCP tendencies. I suppose it would be helpful if they mention this leaning in join-lemmy.org.
That said, they do have active [email protected] and [email protected] communities to their credit. There are similar communities on other servers too (like the privacyguides one) but that doesn't mean only one server can have the title of being FOSS/privacy oriented, nor is there any rule that a server can only take on one attribute label.
Having a couple communities on a subject does not make your instance [subject]-oriented. That's like saying my home instance, startrek.website, is politics-oriented or Linux-oriented because those communities exist. It's not, it's mostly about Trek.
Yeah
