So i was earlier at mainstream social media apps, by it was very shitty(dumb people), then I went to reddit, after some while I realised it's also shit(clown people and dumb mods, like no freedom). So now I found this. I have few queries- 1.How does fediverse and lemmy work, couldn't find much on the Internet and AI wasn't much help either. 2.Whats the environment here? 3.What all words and how freedom is allowed here? 4.What are some general rules/unspoken tradition to follow if any? 5.Anything else u wanna tell about

Most has already been spoken too re. the main devs of lemmy generally being fascist weirdos (I suggest making an account on piefed as well); so, on a somewhat lighter note the main gay af community, 196, split into three separate versions because the mods of the original comm decided to move to .world from blahaj.zone for some convoluted reason. The original comm was locked and someone set up a new comm still on blahaj because .world can be a cesspit sometimes. After much user... feedback the original comm on blahaj was unlocked; however there was already a replacement comm set up on the same instance. This left us with three separate 196 communities. Two on blahaj.zone and one on .world. The one with the cool logo (/c/onehundredninetysix@lemmy.blahaj.zone) is the newer most active one now.

A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions

Rules: (interactive)

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.
