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.

Good Alternative communities?
Well, you've already found Lemmy+kbin, which IMHO is currently the best.
Mastodon can be cool, too, although you've really got to curate your experience, and the soapboxing that someone else mentioned is really present on there, too.
Well, and then there's also lobste.rs. It's invite-only. If I remember correctly, it has lots of BSD users at its heart, so those are at least people who are genuinely interested in technology, but yeah, the opinions you find on there can also be a bit one-sided as a result...
Any communities recommended to join?
The one most similar is probably https://programming.dev
Well, if you want content similar to HN, these are kind of that:
