What did you learn today? Share it with us!
We learn something new every day. This is a community dedicated to informing each other and helping to spread knowledge.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with TIL. Linking to a source of info is optional, but highly recommended as it helps to spark discussion.
** Posts must be about an actual fact that you have learned, but it doesn't matter if you learned it today. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.**
Rule 2- Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-TIL posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.

Guess old reddit habits die hard. Love to see someone get down votes for not understanding a joke
Lemmy is more trigger-happy with downvotes in my experience. And way worse at getting jokes and understanding sarcasm. It's pretty interesting actually.
Maybe I may be used to reddit and a little sore because I got banned for being a bot for posting to much. But and hope you are with me that I am not a bot or spamming or whatever.
Maybe you don't get the title perfect every time, but you provide a lot of content that's the sort of stuff I went to reddit for, and I appreciate you!
Don't know if your being sarcastic or what but as a major wikiphile I do my best to educate people hopefully the Mods can see it and not ban me for being overly active or call me spamming or whatever. And I appreciate your input. ....No sarcasm.
Hi there, mod here. I want to acknowledge that you appear to not be a spam bot, just some decent dude who wanted to make some posts.
I appreciate you wanting to contribute. Would you do me a small favor and slow it down a bit? You're getting a lot of reports. I recommend quality over quantity. Take the time to double check your titles. Keep it to like single digits a day for a bit. Avoid reposting topics. Etc.
That'll all go a long way, rest assured.
alright will do.
I wouldn't worry too much about it whatever the case. Between interpreting a comment as one full of positivity VS one that is potentially sarcastic, I would interpret it as a positive comment 100% of the time. I mean, why not? Thanks for sharing!
