Ask Lemmy is a place to ask thought provoking questions. The mods have been lenient with some of the recent posts on the basis that they must provoke thought for some people, but after seeing two posts essentially saying “what do you think of my stick?”, I believe we can raise the bar a bit on what kind of thoughts we want to provoke here.
No more low effort posts please.
Both should be welcome. Especially with the current state of Lemmy (low user base), over moderation can be a real thing.
More narrowly tailored communities have narrower appeal and Q&A communities function off of their number of users.
This is one reason why on Reddit r/AskReddit (44M) has more users than r/AskMen (5.8M). And why r/AskMen has more users than r/AskMenOverThirty (458K).
