Ask Lemmy
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.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

It does not matter how many people are on your instance. The only things that matter are that your instance hasn't been defederated from other instances with communities you'd want to participate in, that it is kept up to date and online, and that your instance owner/operators stay on top of moderation. I've not heard of any problems along these lines with lemm.ee
I'm not sure I entirely agree. The more popular your instance is, the more content you're likely to get on /all
You can ask the admin to run https://github.com/Fmstrat/lcs to subscribe to every community
No, you get more content on /local, but the same content as any other instance on /all (assuming your instance isn't defederated from other big instances).
You have a fair point, but as of now I think being federated with beehaw, lemmy.world and lemmy.ml and a few others is enough to get some good content.
But you only get communities from them in all if someone has already subscribed to each specific one. You don't get all the communities from the instance automatically.
This is true but every day more communities are subscribed to by someone.

I'm already subscribed to over 200 communities. If I needed to change instances I could just migrate them over.
Well, at least I have compared c/all from my Lemmy.world account with my lemmy.ee account and I can't find any noticeable differences, if any here we have beehaw content.
