1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling 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 !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
8) No Bots.
Posts or comments from bots, LLM's, AIs, Neural Networks, Transformers, or Marvin the Paranoid Android are not welcome in AskLemmy. Real humans only please.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

I need to unfortunately lock your post, as it violates our rule 5 (you can check the rules in the sidebar of the community). Do not take this personal, it is just our rules. You probably should visit !newtolemmy@lemmy.ca instead and ask such questions there.
That aside, welcome to the Fediverse, pal.
I see you have not yet recieved your welcome gift!
You may redeem this beans at the hugbox/echochamber of your choice for beans of equal or greater value.
Are we already out of soapy tiddies? Well, beans it is then.
The karma thing is extremely annoying, I've fallen afoul of it myself multiple times. But I also get why subreddits do it: they're trying to filter out bots and it probably reduces moderator workload a tonne. Lemmy doesn't have the scale (a lot of subreddits are significantly bigger than Lemmy) to really make it a problem, but no doubt we'd start seeing similar tactics if communities had hundreds of thousands of active users.
What annoys me is when your post gets immediatly removed because of reddits filters, but it won't say why! You have no idea if it's something to do with your account, or if you've used a word that triggers the post to be removed.
Anyway, welcome! I'm always curious how people find out about the fediverse, how did you find out about Lemmy? :)
agreed that it keeps bots away but it also keeps new ppl away too. I just want internet to be a nice place for ppl and Reddit doesn't support that. Ngl 10s for post were deleted automatically and it pissed me off so bad.
I’m always curious how people find out about the fediverse, how did you find out about Lemmy? :)
I just searched up Reddit alternatives and Google AI showed me few results, among them, one was Lemmy. Then i went up on YT to look for same and ppl mentioned Lemmy there too. Then i dug up lil bit abt it and here i am.
Never really understood that. Who is going to have a harder time raising karma: a bot running 24 hours a day making insipid comments agreeing with the echo chamber or a person who just has a question?
Yeah I dunno. I guess it solves a lot of low effort bots that probably generate a lot of noise?
I found this a couple days ago too. I would've been here since launch had I been paying attention, lol
Um, you did forget to read the rules here, did you?
No, like, let’s just say made a account and I posted in one or two communities (a rice in r/unixporn and a question regarding my pc in r/pcmasterrace) it will directly delete my post, and my account will get shadow banned, meaning I can no longer post edit my profile and do stuff like that, and have to wait until Reddit’s Support does something about it.
(Why tf do read fast and don’t understand) yeah i didn’t read the rules, my fault on that one. But im new so ill keep in mind next time.
While you don't really have to worry about that (there's not really any point since you can just hop instances) this post violates rules 2 and 5 of this community and you may find it removed on those grounds and may find yourself banned from certain communities or instances if you continue to not read community rules before posting. One thing that catches some people off guard is that similarly-named communities on different instances can have very different rules.
Yep agreed on reading rules thingy but you see i wanted this post to be like talking abt Reddit and still asking my question at the end. Idk how am i supposed to add “?” For my title. But even if this post gets removed, i wouldn’t mind because i know it’s not because of my karma being low or my account it new but im made the mistake of not reading rules.
I think Voyager is the best client by far, but you'll have to adjust to its differences. Welcome to Lemmy!
Welcome!
Welcome! For a better experience, don't forget to block the tankie instances.
Or aggravate them so much that they block you!
My favourite ios client is Thunder for lemmy.
Hi Venomous!
Helloww
I like the boost client
Mlem dev here. If there’s anything in particular that bothers you, feel free to message me or post in !mlemapp@lemmy.ml; we really appreciate user feedback :)
The .ml user base is a valid blanket statement for what the asshole of the fediverse looks like.
Hey I'm using Blorp on both ios and pc.
