    YOU’RE NOT MY SUPERVISOR

    but yeah, seeing dozens of support related questions kinda goes against the expressed purpose of this community.

    Maybe a bot would be useful to detect when a post is a support question, and reply with links to the support communities? Unfortunately I don’t think newcomers will read the pinned post or previous posts about this that have come up.

    Why not both?

    “IT enthusiasts of Lemmy, how would you tackle x or y problem?”

    Could lead to some interesting answers but i agree that follow up questions and expectations to actually get the problem fixed should be somewhere else.

      There’s definitely some grey area, but mainly we’re trying to not have this community be spammed with things like “why can’t I view pictures” and “the server is down someone do something”

    Is there a sub for lemmy related technical questions only?

    Would be nice for specific implementation questions.

        Thank you. Yeah I found a Lemmy Support community on lemmy.ml, but for some reason I can’t find it from my instance. Even tough it doesn’t block any other instances as far as I’m aware. I did find if from monyet.cc for some reason.

        The way I understand it, no technical support questions (because there are other communties for that). Other than that any good faith questions about anything are okay, as long as it’s not considered discriminatory, hateful or otherwise disruptive. And the mods decide what those latter three are.

        Like asking something about fishing or cooking or life advice or anything you might want to ask someone.

    You removed my post that was not support related. I can only presume it was because it was simply about Lemmy (not a request for help or how to use the site) and you misinterpreted your own rule.

    Also, the post just disappeared. No reference to it again, no explanation.

    Would be nice to see you enforcing the rules as they’re actually written and also at least provide some explanation about what happened.

      For one, if your post was removed we are required to put a removal reason to remove it.

      Two, I see no record of it in the mod log. Are you sure it just wasn’t a victim of the intermittent downtime issues lemmy.world has had these past few weeks?

    Ah, so you are making the same mistake that the reddit group did. OK, thanks for the warning, I’m heading out.
