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 '?'

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 !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
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.

A less specific demographic, which is a little ironic when referring to reddit. But lemmy is even more a subset of a subset of a subset of people than reddit is, and it gets a bit old at times.
Politics everywhere, and most of it is just circlejerking over something trump is doing and everyone agreeing how terrible he / his supporters / his handlers / the broligarchs are. There isn't much discourse to be had when everyone on here already agrees, and I don't mean I miss right wing voices. Just that I don't need to talk about politics with people who think virtually exactly the same as me about these things. And I'm also not an american.
Then there is an annoying flood of trans content, which is great that it has its place here, but for the most part doesn't interest me beyond a general sentiment of support for people to live their life how they wish. I want more diversity in my feed.
Not in necessarily in opinions but in topics
Yes. There's little or no novelty here. I'm not surprised by something new or interesting. I get a lot of nostalgia hits because we've all experienced similar things.
those commnets almost always bots, i dont entertain them, when i do sometimes i report them because they were obvious spamming, like the bots they were.
