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 !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com. 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 info@lemmy.world. 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 !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online

Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Often, its asked what the fediverse or lemmy needs more of in terms of content, but are there any specific features or functionality you really feel are lacking?

Lemmy does pretty much everything I want from this medium of communication. Wishlist features would be:

A better way of linking posts, I see that there is an extenstion that fixes this issue but it would be nice for new users if this was built in
Account migrations
Multi Communities
A way to assign a #tag to a community. For example If I make c/MMA then I would want every post there to federate with the tag #MMA and every post tagged #MMA to show up in c/MMA
A way of scheduling posts within lemmy.
Maybe a little icon that shows where things are being posted from. So if I see a user with a mastodon showing up in the feed with a formatting mistake ill know why.
An option to follow a thread so you can be notified of all new comments even when its not your thread.
It would be nice for instances to have a monthly server cost that tracks donations. I couldnt find any examples except reddit but something like this sitting in the sidebar would help show users how much these stuff all costs. There could be one for instances and development cost goals.

That's the Fediverse icon next to each comment and post?

Lemmy.zip has that on their home community !home@lemmy.zip
