A mastodon is a big, wooly, prehistorical elephant like creature.

Which inspired the name of an American metal band that has never made a bad album.

Which inspired the name of the microblogging social media on the Fediverse.

Now Lemmy Explain: Starting the “Now Lemmy Explain” community.

I’ve always felt like the name “Explain Like I’m 5” is patronizing (yes, I know, it’s from an Office joke). I want to see a community that’s better and more entertaining to read than how it was on reddit.

Now Lemmy Explain: The Rules:

All post title must start with "Now Lemmy Explain: "
All topics are allowed (within reason) but try to avoid ones that will start a flame war.
Keep your explanation concise and entertaining. Remember though, comedy is subjective.
Be excellent to one another, and have fun.
If you see someone else do a great job explaining a particular topic, you are encouraged to cross-post it here, but be sure to credit the original poster for their contributions.
