Although I originally thought that AskLemmy was made as an equivalent to AskReddit, it’s clearly different. On Reddit’s it was limited to open-ended “thought-provoking” questions meant for discussion, whereas here it seems like anything goes. The purpose of this community seems to be much broader, that or it’s just totally unmoderated lol. Not that that’s necessarily a bad thing.
But maybe there should be another community for just the sorts of open-ended questions that we saw on Reddit
This place is actually supposed to be that, if you look at the rules in the sidebar. But I think the mods probably started to despair at the sheer amount of people posting Lemmy support questions here instead.
Hopefully as people settle in, that eases off and makes moderation more viable. Interestingly [email protected] (Lemmy / Kbin) has the exact same problem so it’s not just us.
As a mod in this community, I’m having fun. There hasn’t been much to mod in other communities. :D
As a mod elsewhere, can confirm, although I’m very grateful for that lol. Glad it’s keeping things interesting for you!
