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 [email protected] or [email protected]. 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 [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

Pretty easy. Here's my two experiences so far:

Twitter: I've only ever used it for memes, to follow a literal couple of content creators I liked and to promote my Twitch channel (which, at that point, was inactive). After the Musk acquisition and the first few bullshit decisions, I've promptly deleted my account and never looked back. I've since heard of Mastodon and decided to give it a shot - Twitter wasn't one of my favorite socials to begin with so I'm not particularly active on Mastodon either, but it's hands down a much better experience compared to it.
Lemmy: I haven't outright deleted my Reddit account and I don't think I will, not because I want to keep using the site but rather due to some contributions that can be considered important to some communities (mainly 3DS hacking & homebrew) which could be lost if I do. However, I've been enjoying Lemmy a lot and the more time passes, the more I find myself using this social compared to Reddit.
