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.

I'd definitely add a +1 to lemm.ee
The admin is open and honest, he's got a clear set of goals, which is to make lemmy accessible - nothing more, nothing less.
Lemm.ee doesn't participate in the whole "federate vs non-federate" drama or crippling features (ie: removing downvotes) because it goes against their ethos/mantra.
There are instances that lemm.ee defederates from, but they are usually due to extreme vore, cp, or other content that could expose lemm.ee to some legal problems.
I just checked the list at https://lemm.ee/instances
The only blocked entries are Threads and burger/burggit, which is defunct. I was not able to search defend.xyz to see who is blocking them.
For anyone considering it, just be aware that it will be a much less filtered experience. Most instances block lemmygrad, hexbear, etc. Most also block porn.
You will likely want to set up your own instance blocks
As a former Redditor, I gave up on
/r/allyears before the enshittification (due to the poor signal to noise ratio) and started culling a list of meaningful subreddits. For me this was a game changer.If you plan on using lemm.ee (or any Lemmy instance) as a pre-curated
r/all, I think you're going to have a bad experience. Lemmy, in it's current state, wasn't really made for that (the sorting is too simplistic).For myself, I simply subscribe to the communities that I'm interested in. If I feel my daily feed is sparse, then I'll look at what's threads are trending in the entire fediverse and add those communities, then repeat. After following this process for a couple of weeks, I seldomly want/need to check the entire fediverse.
I appreciate that Lemm.ee will let me choose the communities that I'm interested in, regardless of they happen to exist on Lemmy.world, hexbear, etc.
Defederating is more than just blocking communities hosted on those instances. Most importantly, and the reason why most instances get defederated, is that it blocks comments.
If your instance blocks hexbear, it blocks all comments from hexbear users. That also applies to all communities on other instances.
