There is no such thing as a Stupid Question!
Don't be embarrassed of your curiosity; everyone has questions that they may feel uncomfortable asking certain people, so this place gives you a nice area not to be judged about asking it. Everyone here is willing to help.
- ex. How do I change oil
- ex. How to tie shoes
- ex. Can you cry underwater?
Reminder that the rules for lemmy.ca still apply!
Thanks for reading all of this, even if you didn't read all of this, and your eye started somewhere else, have a watermelon slice ๐.

Because we copied every single subreddit but forgot to copy what made them unique so we have a bunch of homogenous communities.
The only difference between this and asklemmy is that asklemmy is slightly more opinion-based questions. It's hard to blame OP when the rules of this community are basically "post any questions you want, we don't care"
Communities with tight themes are so much better than a bunch of "anything goes" communities. I wish that was the direction we went instead
The problem with the tightly themed communities is that you need a much larger userbase to keep them active. Copying all the niche communities from reddit at this point would lead to content being sparse and scattered. We'll get there eventually though
A bigger community is rarely a better community. But either way that doesn't address the issue that we have multiple nearly-identical communities for no reason.
