Welcome to General Discussion! While this is a community for a broad range of topics, it is mainly intended for discussions and with that in mind, there are a few policies to help try to encourage this & direct more specific discussions to their relevant communities.

1: If you're coming from Reddit, please see the Reddit Discussion Policy below for this community.

2: If you'd like to share links through link posts, please be mindful of the rule encouraging you to add context/opinion to the body of these posts, or to alter the title accordingly so as to spur discussion.

Plain link posts with unaltered titles or no accompanying body text to provide context to why you're sharing the link, your opinion, or what you would like to discuss about what you're linking may be removed at the moderators' discretion. Multiple such posts in rapid succession will be removed as relates to the no spam rule.

See also the preceding discussion regarding this second policy's institution.

3: Other instance activity and admin decisions & your opinions of them are better suited to either [email protected] or [email protected] (or whichever others may be around), or if it's merely reporting the decisions without your opinion, one of the various [email protected] communities one may find across the fediverse.

This community does not aim to be another fediverse-focused discussion community nor a fediverse-drama related community.


This post may be updated as needed with additional policies, and if there were discussions on their institution, links to said discussions to help provide insight into why these policies are in place.

Reddit Discussion Policy
For expressing frustration at the amount of Reddit discussion on Lemmy, I recommend [email protected], [email protected], or the like.

For discussions concerning Reddit, there are a few different communities you might look to such as [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], and probably others I'm unaware of. The flipside of these suggestions is that these are also the communities those uninterested in the topic may block if they wish to minimize the amount of such discussions they're seeing in their feed.

Constructive threads concerning the transfer of information or app development from Reddit to Lemmy here remain okay, but threads simply complaining will be locked and redirected to the aforementioned venting communities to vent in, or Reddit ones to block to hopefully help curate their feeds.

Thanks for your understanding, and feel free to message me if you need any help in navigating to those communities.
