Please read the rules before posting!
This is not a support forum, this is to serve a similar purpose to AskReddit, meaning to ask users their opinions on things, about experiences they’ve had, etc.
To ask general support support questions please go over to [email protected]
To ask Lemmy.World support questions, please go over to [email protected]
YOU’RE NOT MY SUPERVISOR
but yeah, seeing dozens of support related questions kinda goes against the expressed purpose of this community.
How many stickied posts are too many?
alt.sysadmin.recovery here I come.
Is there a sub for lemmy related technical questions only?
Would be nice for specific implementation questions.
I think https://lemmy.world/c/techsupport is also for that, there’s also a lemmy.ml tech support community, I don’t remember exactly what its called though
In order for a community to come up in search, someone from your instance must have gone to it first
You can do this in a browser by typing in
https://(your.instance)/c/(community)@(community’s.instance)
ah interesting, thank you for your help
no prob!
What are we allowed to ask then? Honest question
The way I understand it, no technical support questions (because there are other communties for that). Other than that any good faith questions about anything are okay, as long as it’s not considered discriminatory, hateful or otherwise disruptive. And the mods decide what those latter three are.
Like asking something about fishing or cooking or life advice or anything you might want to ask someone.
Thank you a lot! Good explanation.
Really hope it works this time
You removed my post that was not support related. I can only presume it was because it was simply about Lemmy (not a request for help or how to use the site) and you misinterpreted your own rule.
Also, the post just disappeared. No reference to it again, no explanation.
Would be nice to see you enforcing the rules as they’re actually written and also at least provide some explanation about what happened.
For one, if your post was removed we are required to put a removal reason to remove it.
Two, I see no record of it in the mod log. Are you sure it just wasn’t a victim of the intermittent downtime issues lemmy.world has had these past few weeks?
I’m not the OP, but I’ve noticed comments sometimes not being posted. There are probably a few glitches in Lemmy software or the clients still.
Wow, it’s literally 1984
Better believe it. :)
Ah, so you are making the same mistake that the reddit group did. OK, thanks for the warning, I’m heading out.
I don’t understand. What mistake is that?
Turning this group into a place of mindless blabbering like it is on reddit.
It actually could be a place to ask questions and get meaningful answers from people in the know.
There are other communities dedicated to support questions. I think it makes good sense to separate it from this community.
More often than not, they are hard to find. The problem with this charta is that it basically also forbids questions like “where would I find help about <whatever topic/problem>”
I stay with my point that this stupid limitation makes this a worthless babbling group.
