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 !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.
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 info@lemmy.world. 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 !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Can you suggest some beginner friendly communities
Here you go. I'd consider these beginner-friendly because they're not focused on tech or politics.
click here for a list of communities that are NOT politics, tech, or meme -related.
Most are currently active (except for the ones with a * which were less active last I checked) Sometimes politics, tech or memes sneak in but they're not the focus.

ART / PHOTOS

MEMES, SOCIAL MEDIA REPOSTS, AND HUMOR
Most of these are currently active. (except for the ones with a * which were less active last I checked). Sometimes these include politics but that's not the sole focus.
Lemmy is fairly small compared to other social media sites so instead of restricting yourself to a handful of communities I'd recommend browsing the "all" feed and just seeing everything.
Keep an eye on the instance each community is hosted on as there's often a social or political bias.
You can then block communities and instances that you aren't interested in or would rather not see.
This should get you started. Hopefully you enjoy some of this stuff.

If you also like linux stuff, open source stuff, or political stuff, there’s no shortage of those communities.
What are you in to? Communities are small here but growing
If your into cute things, search for Otters the .world community is good. If your into Star Trek or Linux your options are vast. Lots of politics unfortunately do to the U.S. moves, but also there are great communities everywhere. I'll follow up if you have any hints. Dullmensclub may be nice?
That said you can create filters to weed out things that make you depressed like Terms involving Musk or such.
