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
I'm still trying to understand the difference between Lemmy and PieFed, but they seem to be fully interoperable...?
Yes.
The Threadiverse has multiple intercompatible "Reddit-alike" software packages.
-
Lemmy (the biggest). Example: https://lemmy.world/ Written in the Rust programming language.
-
PieFed. Example: https://piefed.social/ Written in the Python programming language.
-
Mbin (the successor of the defunct Kbin project). Example: https://fedia.io/ Written in the PHP programming language.
There's also Sublinks, written in Java, but I don't know for sure whether that's going to actually get the ball rolling. https://demo.sublinks.org/ Think they need more developers contributing.
EDIT: Note that while this approach is unusual for the centralized Web-oriented social media era, where typically one company controls the whole shebang and has one codebase, it is common for federated systems. There are many different NNTP server implementations for Usenet, many different XMPP server implementations for instant messaging, many different IRC server implementations for chat, many different SMTP server implementations for email, many different FidoNet implementations.
Is there a difference between Fediverse and Threadiverse ? Or is just terminology so people understand the link to Meta's Theads?
Threadiverse is a term for Fediverse platforms that provide threaded conversations, like Lemmy, PieFed, Mbin, NodeBB. The term was used before Meta's Threads was a thing.
Thanks for the clarification.
I'm rather fond of !dull_mens_club@lemmy.world . You need not be a man, and you post about the dull goings on of your personal life (e.g. "made a ham sandwich today," or "fixed my washing machine over the weekend")
dull...fixed my washing machine
I mean, an incorrectly-operating washing machine can make things quite exciting indeed.
It's always awesome to see the community I created mentioned in the wild!
I also created !dullsters@dullsters.net as an independent alternative.
!general@lemmy.world is General discussion
!politicaldiscussiin@lemmy.world is Political discussion
!chat@beehaw.org (not accessible from lemmy.world)
~~!chat@lemmy.one (inactive, server shut down)~~
!canada@lemmy.ca is a mix of news articles, discussion and anything Canadian that doesn't really fit well anywhere else.
Lemmy.one shut down so I wouldn't use that one anymore
Oh, right, good to know.
some of these are "ask" communities which sometimes turn into discussions
- !ask@lemm.ee
- !asklemmy@lemmy.world
- !askmeanything@lemmy.ca
- !casualconversation@lemm.ee
- !casualuk@feddit.uk

I love dull mens club and dullsters
!nostupidquestions@lemmy.world is also pretty good.
movies, entertainment, without getting potentially sanctioned or astroturfed like you on reddit for discussing the same things, especially people are so fixated on the actors that they would defend them even if became they became POS. TIL, and sometimes news.
