Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Please don't post about US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion
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.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

It highly depends on what you're here for. Some communities have gathered enough active members to expect a continuous influx of posts and comments.
The strength that Reddit has built over the years is that many niche communities also thrived and turned into a rich repository of knowledge that was searchable. Lemmy isn't there yet, if you're into fishing, knitting, Japanese chess or sourdough baking.
But it also doesn't need to be a perfect drop in replacement for Reddit, it's probably fine if it remains something different, slightly fringe and a friendly place that doesn't require massive amount of servers and moderation staff.
For anyone curious it's also called Shogi.
And if there is a lemmy community for it out there let me know. :D
Edit: I think my client bugged out with an off by one error but might be corrected
I chose this example because I'm an avid Shōgi player :-)
There is a community on my instance, but nobody ever posted anything. Maybe I could post a couple of Tsume from some books I have, or some castling strats.
