Ask Lemmy
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.

One of my BlueSky accounts I use for what you're missing. Follow artist starterpacks to get started faster, the AI and Politics mass block lists too, and avoid Catch Up like the American doomer plague it is. "Show less of this" everything political/not the account's focus in your Discover feed. Block them first when you have the patience to do this tedious task. After awhile all you'll see is artists/indie. Disable risque/adult content default-on blocks as desired.
Takes a bit of work, but this has been nice.
Another good resource is https://www.newgrounds.com/art
Is Newgrounds a diminished community? Yes. Is it still active? Also yes. Had a bit of a artist population boost around when the exodus to BlueSky from Xhitter was going on too.
For some recency bias specifics:
