A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Please don't post about US Politics.
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 [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.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Sadly, Lemmy is too small to have many active niche communities of its own, so as already said your best bet is just viewing all.
Alongside this, viewing specific instances can give you a slightly more curated experience than just all of Lemmy.
A nice thing you can do is to call an IA to draw you something from any community federated. Just like that:
[email protected] draw me a welcome picture for someone new on a social media. Style: piratepunk
The first thing I recommend you do is get a feel for the vibe of other instances, with a more dedicated topic, and join those, rather than Lemmy.world or something.
Lemmy is at its best when your local feed has more topics along your personal interests, but you can search All for stuff outside your interests.
Not to be too biased or anything, but I mod

I also really like
The userbases on all of these communities are a little smaller, but steady and the vibe is more positively authentic than Reddit alternatives.
Oh and [email protected]
Welcome back! Depends on what you like, there's a good chunk of communities now. Just make sure to keep expectations in check, we're not Reddit, a good community here has a couple of posts a day and dozens, not thousands of comments. Your post here I'd say is doing pretty well.
We're still growing, slowly, but you're proof that people are growing tired of corporate social media.
Yeah, I couldn’t sleep last night, so I was looking around here for a while. I think browsing all might be good enough for now. I’m also really digging the smaller size; it seems to allow all posts made in good faith to get decent engagement. On Reddit, the early downvote I got on this post would have been a death sentence for responses, but now I’ve got lots to go off of here

My favorites are 196 and lemmyshitpost. Nostupidquestions can also be interesting sometimes. I'd recommend searching for the names of your favorite subreddits and checking if they have moved over here.

Welcome!
I don't have specific recommendations on hand because I'm on mobile, but you can look through this guide from [email protected] for other ways to discover communities

Following the promo communities works great so you can passively learn about new things when they get promoted
