Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Please don't post about US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world
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.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

@Truffle yes. Especially Clydesdales. When they kick each other you can feel the ground shake like a small earthquake.
Did you just @ the person you're replying to....? All my years of reddit and lemmy I've never seen someone do that.
its a fediverse phenomenon. Mastodon users @ by default
@M137 yeah. It's because I'm on Kbin which auto-populates an @ in the reply field (this is because Kbin federates/interacts with Mastodon as well as the Lemmys, and Mastodon uses @s).
Sometimes I'm lazy and don't remove it, and sometimes I do it on purpose because threading is still a bit hit and miss and it helps me keep track of who I'm replying to.
@M137 btw here's an example of some mastodon users interacting on a kbin thread. @s are the only way they can see who is replying to whom.
