Here’s what the sidebar says: “A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought-provoking questions.”

And yet we keep seeing is:

  • Is it possible (or difficult) to migrate an entire forum from vanilla to a lemmy instance?
  • Is Tom Clancy’s daughter trans, or is it a character of his?
  • Does anyone have a link for ace attorney 1 full game playthrough?
  • Does anyone have suggestions for buying a webcam?

TBC? Most posters do indeed bring it with highly thought-provoking Q’s, and I love that. But matey, there must be better places for these Q’s, yeah?

    People ask those questions here because it’s not obvious where else they should ask those questions.

    In my opinion, Lemmy doesn’t have enough traffic to be hostile to lost Redditors Lemmings.

    We can always redirect people to appropriate communities (assuming they exist and are active), and once we hit a certain critical mass the problem will go away on its own.
