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.

I really dislike them.
When a bot posts the same gardian link to every news community and then do the same thing for the next article, it kills any chance for comment as the poster is never present in the thread. Example: [email protected]
Many are low grade scams. Example: This user screams scammer to me [email protected]
Others are just marketing spam. Example: This user is just a marketing bot posting over and over links to the same site. [email protected]
I wish actual humans would also stop reposting shit. Karma farming is not necessary on Lemmy or Kbin.
There is no karma on Lemmy, though. So they are appealing to good ol'fashioned spamming.
I mean.... There is... It's just hidden by the default UI. It's exposed in voyager... You have 904 comment karma for example (and no post karma).
Oh. Interesting. Well that kinda sucks.
