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 [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.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try [email protected] or [email protected]
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

I have my main feed as no NSFW. I might have half a dozen blocked.
My NSFW feed, probably has 40+ blocked.
About 330. A crap ton of porn stuff, furry, bondage, etc. Several non-English communities. Operating system related stuff like Linux or android. A few “normal” communities that are on instances that don’t allow much dissent or contrary opinion.
Almost 200 pretty much exclusively from lemmynsfw before you could block a whole instance.
Once they added that, I've blocked very very few communities.

Here? Not many, I sub to things I find interesting and browse my subscribed feed.
Reddit? Hundreds of subreddits if not more. If it's full of rage or engagement bait, intolerance or it's a community devoted to punching down I've probably blocked it.
over 30. I personally prefer more serious discussion because I'm a dork. I'm not into most sports, jokes, video games or other whimsical stuff. I like some of that stuff IRL, but I consider the internet primarily of use for deeper discussion of topics that most people might not necessarily have an interest in. Like NASAs nuclear powered project Orion spacecraft in the 1960s.
Peoples eyes normally glaze over when I talk about that stuff offline, but there are billions online, and usually someone else finds that niche stuff as interesting as me.
It would be nice if you could select which topics interest you rather than having to block every community that does not.

Zero.
1500+
Only those with other languages that I do not understand and that somehow still show on my feed.
30ish
I don't know, but it's mostly memes and gay stuff.
Don't know how to check, but I am on mbin, not Lemmy.
