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.

Because it’s entirely running by lemmings
Okay I’ll leave
I usually browse by 'Top Six Hours', but I'll see some weird communities pop up every other day or so, just a string of posts all from one community, like one after the other, then by the next day I'll never see them ever again. Sometimes it's some random obscure hobby/interest, sometimes it's country-specific but in a different language. The foreign language ones I always block (no offense, but if I can't read it, it's useless to me). I've tried setting my language preference to English, but it never seems to do any good.
Same! Then when I run out of content it's top 1 hour... then new -- the wild west
Yeah, I've noticed that as well. :(
I wonder if those communities get put in Trending so they get visibility in the hopes of more users joining them?
in the hopes of more users joining them
It certainly works on me
Oh I just assumed they were the newest communities, is that not the case?
It's not. I've had some of the same empty communities for more than a month in that block.
