Ooooh, we do need a Eurovision community if we don't have one already.
Edit: there's one at [email protected]. I'll see you there!

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.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try [email protected] or [email protected]
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

MODERATORS
Anything black/“urban” generally gets heavily downvoted on Lemmy. Haven’t figured out why. With all the other heavy virtue signaling you’d think it would also be pushed.
It’s one of the many things that aggravates me about my experience here. I went back to Reddit after over a year of only spending it here.
It has gotten better though.

Yes and I love it
I feel it, but to me it's kind of positive.
Like, I can belong to a social group without being bombarded with nonsense that is just noise meant to distract.
It's the same kind of liberation and control I felt when switching to Linux (since you mentioned it) - one decision, and the entirety of Windows drama is no longer relevant to me. I'm part of a much smaller, much more concentrated group of real people, in a sort of blissful silence to which I only admit the information and people I find worth my attention.

That's why I'm here. This week, I learned who Kendrick Lamar and Drake are, and I feel stupider for it.

I specifically came here because I was uninterested in the pop culture chat that I was seeing in my socials. I want to talk to more people in less mainstream nerd culture
Hmm.. maybe? But I'm ok with it. All those things in your second paragraph are things I'd never care about anyways.
I made a community for survival horror games because I like them and like talking about it. Build it and they will come. Make a community to talk about things you like and those with similar interests will join.
We did have a Luka to the Lakers over on [email protected]
Just saying.
I’m exclusively on the fediverse, I don’t feel disconnected from pop culture at all. There is a lot of politics and meta discussion, I’ll give you that
Subscribed, thanks! I searched NBA on the global community search and got nothing, I wonder if it just wasn't federated on my instance yet.
I wish I was there losing my mind with the rest of you last week
It’s hard to figure out why some communities show up and others don’t on the search. It’s definitely a good idea to subscribe to [email protected] and other communities like it to make sure you don’t miss them when they come up. I think someone was working on a better search for Lemmy but it seems to be abandoned
Thank you, I couldn’t remember the latest community address when typing out my reply
I mean, post the content and people will come? I think a lot of people would have commented on these things if they saw the thread
This is true, but 1) It's hard going from a passive consumer of a community to a facilitator of discussions (I have anxiety issues lol) but also 2) It's hard to even know/find if there's a community TO post in, you know?
Maybe I'm just a Lemmy noob after almost two years here, but I do find community discoverability harder here, and there's always discussions of fractionating communities even further. I don't want to risk creating a new community, take up server space that my instance host generously provides, and then find out it was redundant.
