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.

No specific recommendations, but I highly recommend following your local news orgs assuming you don’t live in a news desert.
The goal of big news companies is to get clicks for that delicious ad revenue and they don’t care about how predatory that is towards you.
Local news is much more community focused in my experience
But most local news is just big company-numbers…?
Yeah, I can’t argue with that, it’s a shame :(
All the more reason to subscribe to independently owned ones if they’re available to keep them afloat :)
Yep. Look for smaller community newspapers — like the freebies they hand out at the grocery store etc. a lot of them have RSS feeds. If you join the subLemmy for your closest metropolis, you’ll often find stories posted from sources like these, and local political blogs. A good way to find more local RSS feeds.
Cyberdeck.cafe has a cool RSS feed. I love seeing those crazy things.
