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.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

I'm in a few but as a general rule I try to avoid most of the ml instance communities because some of them can be a bit on the toxic side.
Generally I stick with the ones that are on the same server as my account i.e. !linux@lemmy.world on my lemmy.world account and !linux@programming.dev on my programming.dev account with exceptions to ones where I don't have presence on that instance, or I have limited purpose of having an account there (i.e. my lemmy.blahaj.zone account only serves to moderate the Aroace and Agender communities), in which case I usually choose the one which has been most reliable. Part of the reason I did it this way was because in the early days when Lemmy.world had load issues and was being DDoSed federation would have a lot of issues,
