A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions

Rules: (interactive)

1) Be nice and; have fun

Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them

2) All posts must end with a '?'

This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?

3) No spam

Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.

4) NSFW is okay, within reason

Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com. NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].

5) This is not a support community.

It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

6) No US Politics.

Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online

Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Apologies if this is a repeat post. I’m not as avid of a Lemmy user as most, probably.

Someone not long ago asked what makes people unreasonably unhappy or angry. I wanted to flip that over and see what people are looking forward to?

No really topic here, just sharing, uplifting and learning. Maybe a post like this could help spark an interest in something for someone else.

Me? Other than watching my family grow and me growing along with them, I would have to say I’m excited about learning.

More specifically, recent life has made it relevant for me to learn about solar off-grid systems. Though I know I have a lot of learning to do, I look forward to putting the knowledge to practice sometime in the near future.

How about you?

I’m glad you have the opportunity to hit the reset button like that. It sounds like you have a positive look ahead for the change, which is half the battle in my opinion.

It might take some time to feel like you fit in better with your new group, but the extra effort is worth it ten fold if you do find your close friend group there.

Most of the best friendships I ever had started off a bit Rocky. And usually were not at all what I expected. Come to think of it, things are rarely what I expect.

Best of luck!
