Ask Lemmy
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

I've been throwing some of those onto /c/technology and have received some mixed results.
On one hand, they are usually upvoted and some people are really cool about maker projects.
On the other hand...people can be downright mean and will downvote anything they can't personally buy right now or think perfect. The level of snark and straight anger is interesting. If you say anything positive about such a project, there is often a huge amount of downvotes as if people are trying hard to drown out any positivity. Dunno maybe it's just me.
I'm all about testing new and prototype technology and I was hoping it could have its place there. You can't get more diy than hackaday I feel.
Maybe join !microcontrollers@lemux.minnix.dev and/or !sbcs@lemux.minnix.dev and post there. I just found those communities not very long ago, and they seem to have some cool content.
