No, askreddit is the reddit version of asklemmy.
Yes
That's it boys, let's pack it up!
sir, this is a burger king.
Could I get a large whopper meal?
You got eighteen bucks?
no
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.
theoretically doesn’t fit on here,
According to what theory?
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.
Good, let's keep it that way. Lack of freedom of speech is what has made that 3rd Reich of Reddit impossible to use.
It's called "Ask Lemmy", so no... It's about lawnmower maintenance.
Nope. That's over at !asklemmy@lemmy.world. This is the Lemmy version of askMarxists
Yea - the thing is that it's called "AskLemmy" when really the whole Fediverse can access the community. I feel like it would've been better suited to call it "AskFedi" or something else. In general it doesn't really make sense to use the software as the name for stuff.
People here say "lemmy" way too much when they really should consider the Fediverse as a whole.
EDIT: Curious why people are down voting, anyone care to explain their perspective on this?
That's a good point, even the platforms may change over time (either by name, or entire projects migrating).

Part of it is that we don't federate that nicely to the rest of the fediverse yet. I expect that to change over time though

I mean, kinda? But it federates well enough I would say. I regularly see Mastodon or kbin users and I feel it's not fair to those users to refer to the spaces on Lemmy instances as "lemmy". And as you note, it's short sighted - Lemmy might not be around in 10 years and some other implementation might take over.
But tbf I'm not sure exactly what the federation problems are right now. I'm not sure how Lemmy could federate better (if at all).
This is part of the reason I went with feddit.dk and not lemmy.dk.
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
Ask reddit has a lot of annoying rules, e.g. no questions with a definite right answer
Yes
Yes
Yeah
Yes because most people are from reddit : )
