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.

How many communities do you have blocked? (lemmy.world)

My preferred way to browse here is using All and blocking communities I don't want to see. That way I get exposed to new things I wouldn't seek out on my own (for example: British archaeology)

I accidentally blocked a community while trying to block a user and when I went to unblock it, I saw I had 1250 communities filtered. If I had to guess, 90% are either porn, sports, or anime.

What about you?

Here? Not many, I sub to things I find interesting and browse my subscribed feed.

Reddit? Hundreds of subreddits if not more. If it's full of rage or engagement bait, intolerance or it's a community devoted to punching down I've probably blocked it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

I don't know, but it's mostly memes and gay stuff.

How many communities are on lemmy.ml?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

Most of them are non english communities. Haven't had to block them in a while, I must have gotten all of them.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I've basically blocked all meme communities.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago

I'm only here for the memes

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

hexbear, lemmygrad and all news communities. Also turn off the NSFW post.

Only these 2:

Because they:

Spam up your feed
Spread depressing content (since it attracts more attention thus earns them more)
Try to manipulate you
