Ask Lemmy is a place to ask thought provoking questions. The mods have been lenient with some of the recent posts on the basis that they must provoke thought for some people, but after seeing two posts essentially saying “what do you think of my stick?”, I believe we can raise the bar a bit on what kind of thoughts we want to provoke here.

No more low effort posts please.

    At this point there should probably be a generic “just ask random questions for other Lemmy users” community to direct those people to. People don’t seem to get that this one is similar to AskReddit in purpose, but Lemmy is small so there’s no immediately obvious general communities.

      I usually use NoStupidQuestions as the catch all for when I don’t have something better. We have a few communities for that

      Which does not make it anny better. Is there no better name for a group that is not about answering questions?

      AskLemmy would a great name for a community like you’re describing, I wonder if it’s being used for anything else right now?
