I though they were all spam bots but I saw that some have real users
AskReddit, being the best comparison I can make, had a lot of questions with an established theme. Usually along the lines of asking Redditors what they thought or experienced around some topic.
AskLemmy on the other hand never really established a particular culture, and not everyone here necessarily came from Reddit. So instead, it’s become more of a community for general, genuine questions, rather than one seeking subjective experience or thoughts.
Which would actually a big improvement over Reddit.
I agree, the rules in AskReddit were too limiting

I wasn’t around back then but I’m pretty sure it was the same for AskReddit back in the days.
One of the most famous Reddit posts is an AskReddit question where the user somehow set their Reddit interface to Spanish and asked for tech support setting it back to English and everyone responded in Spanish which is hilarious.
Such a question would instantly be removed in modern AskReddit. Well at least it would have a few months ago before the apocalypse, I don’t know about the current state of affairs.I just realized I never finished my series on “gem apps for ____ (platform)”…🤔
I got banned for a bit
Maybe they’re just people trying to create content? AskLemmy users can have opinions on things that don’t relate to the comm.
I don’t mind any kind of question, since it is ASKlemmy, but some content os not even a quention, just…idk… news
This question isn’t an asklemmy question either.
You’re not an AskLemmy question! nyaaah
Every question is Asklemmy. What I ment is that some posts are jot even questions, just links
I’m curious as to what qualifies as AskLemmy content? Given that the community guidelines/rules basically boil down to “don’t come here looking for Lemmy tech support” and “obey Wheaton’s Law.”
Any question. I asked becaise in one day I saw.like 3 or 4 posts that weren’t even questions at all.
What’s Wheaton’s Law?
Don’t be a dick.
- Wheaton’s Law.
i don’t think asklemmy posts need to ask questions about asklemmy. that’d be pretty limiting wouldn’t it?
Did you just ask a question about a question asking about asklemmy?
Did you just question asking questions about questions asking about asklemmy??
Any posts in mind? Is this the one about the trigonometry functions?
I kinda wonder the same thing about obviously stupid questions in nostupidquestions. I feel like there is a line despite the community name.
I swear to god people take it as a challenge. That’s when it’s not obvious soapboxing.
That one asking if Kim Kardashian was a princess was such a winner I had to say something about it.
Omg I was about to comment the same
Isn’t it a challenge?
It’s a non-spoken hidden group we gather at matrix to brainstorm questions with the help of LLMs and select at random which ones we should post

Like political posts without questions, just links to pages with news and all.
