Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Please don't post about US Politics. If you need to do this, try [email protected]
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.

I'm on lemmy.today. Their policy is to try to avoid defederation with anyone, let the users decide what to block on a per-account basis, so if that's what you want, might be what you're looking for.
They're US West Coast.
Keep in mind that there's a lot of stuff out there on the Threadiverse, and if you want an unfiltered view of things, they may show up in your "All" feed.
https://lemmy.fediverse.observer and https://kbin.fediverse.observer can recommend instances geographically near you.
Kbin instances have their rules at /terms, like:
Lemmy instances have their rules in the sidebar. You can also look at the list of instances that they've federated/defederated with at /instances, like http://lemmy.world/instances ; that can give you an idea of what instances they're okay with too.
Just join dbzer0 honestly
I've honestly thought about it, but I'd prefer to join an instance that connects to as much of the fediverse as possible.
It's sad we have to do this roundabout "join instance C because instances A and B block each other," but that's what corporate cuckery gets us.
I have no respect or trust for the lemmy.world admins after this.
I’ve been pretty happy with .zip, afaik they’ve only defederated from the really vile stuff
I am also happy with .zip, so far I didn't even realize they had defederated from anything.
LW didn't block DB0 entirely, just those two specific communities. Otherwise, [email protected] wouldn't have been able to reply to you (nor you reply to them)
