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?

I will always call this type of discussion forum “reddit”. This format, with upvotes, downvotes, nested replies, and collapsible descendants, is reddit
