No, askreddit is the reddit version of asklemmy.
Yes
That’s it boys, let’s pack it up!
In theory yes, although the moderation is pretty lacking. So people use it as tech support, ideological rants, yes/no questions, support with actually using Lemmy, DAE, and all other manner of stuff that theoretically doesn’t fit on here, and which is often low effort and doesn’t prompt much discussion.
Even though there is already a !nostupidquestions@lemmy.world and a !doesanybodyelse@lemm.ee This c/ is still quite small, and doesn’t get saturated with questions which belong elsewhere. Somehow splitting the content over 3 communities also get them way more empty than a big active one.
We’re still far from the magic reload button we have on that other website which every minutes would see tons of new post.
It’s also fun to let the user interpret what sort of question they want to ask. Sometimes it’s fun when people do unexpected things.
theoretically doesn’t fit on here,
According to what theory?
the theory of Utopian Tightwaddery
The fewer options people have to do the wrong thing, the better everything becomes. Eventually, (in theory), we’ll get to a world where all you do is press a big green button and get a shiny sticker each day.
What’s DAE?
“Does anyone else… (have trouble finishing video games/use their toenail clippings to add texture to a pot of chili/etc.)?”
Just to add, on Reddit it was segregated away from askreddit pretty early on in the site’s life because it was realized that there’s not much useful discussion that can come off a question structured in that way. Better to ask something like “do you do X? Why or why not”. DAE is mostly just people seeking approval.
Ah, thanks, also, hilarious examples!
So it’s better
Yeah, I guess some people think it’s more of an Ask Jeeves than an Ask Reddit. Might be better if it was just called "open-ended questions"or something like that.
Or maybe everything that isn’t specified is open-ended.
Good, let’s keep it that way. Lack of freedom of speech is what has made that 3rd Reich of Reddit impossible to use.
Nah. Not enough sex questions.
Have you sexed the sex?
Well, AskRedditAfterDark was actually a surprisingly wholesome and awesome community that I miss… I don’t think we’ve got enough folks to build something similar, though.
Nope. That’s over at !asklemmy@lemmy.world. This is the Lemmy version of askMarxists
everything to the left of monarchism = Marxism, apparently
though I’ll agree with you that the rabid anticommunism on .world will definitely help Redditors feel at home
Case in point.
Yes. Although on AskReddit, this question would’ve been removed by the automod because it’s technically a yes or no question.
What’s lemmy? My grandson told me these were the reddits.
Yes
Yes
Ask reddit has a lot of annoying rules, e.g. no questions with a definite right answer
deleted by creator
Yeah
Yes
