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.

MODERATORS
Meme communities, anime, sports, furries, hexbear, moe, and tankie instances. I just block these categories to maintain All as a viable browsing option. I want to be able to subscribe to a limited array of communities while keeping up with trends and events.
None, but my frontpage is subscribed communities only.
There's a lot of freaky porn out there that I don't want to see
None, although there's an ADHD sub that pops up often that is annoying and ive comsidered blocking it
Oh my god, soooooo many. An unreal amount of dreck here. The worst part is that I've blocked all that stuff and now it's mostly terrible world news. And so, to answer your question, no it hasn't made the experience here better. I guess my interests don't jive with the main niches around here.
ZeroBytes.monster I don't want a reddit bot in my feed. I wanted a clean break during the reddit 3rd party app backstabbing.
None yet! Are there any I should be wary of?
Politics and memes.
Social media is a terrible source for accurate, unbiased information. And memes are low quality content that shouldn't be consumed by anyone.
*meme*
Religion
Hexbear, AuthLeft
Advertising communities
Political parties
"General", unspecified non-meme communities (nowherelsetopost etc)
Most of them I don't know why. I just came back to this account because of lemm.ee.

I don't block much but I do have a couple of filters that do good work on Piefed.
Some foreign language communities don't seem to have their language marked so they still show up despite my language settings, so I blocked them to make things easier.
Because you get it back in the form of services and perks.
Fuck cars, vegan communities, gender specific communities, cooking communities - because these types tend to be hard-line judgemental and fueled by hate (looking at you steak)
Mental health meme communities because they just post anything and say it's a trait of their condition. Does anyone else think about stuff? ADHD amiright?
Edit: oh and tHaNkSiMcUrEd because they just make fun of self help now
Anime art communities because there are so many and it's not my thing but I support their interests
Anything not in English because I can't read anything
