Same as reddit but more Linux stuff, as a lot of us switched over when they killed 3rd party apps. Each server has its own quirks, culture, and rules. The active filter usually keeps the “Front page” on a 2 day cycle unless there’s big news.
Did they fuck something up again to stir up the hive? Seems like another wave has been coming around the last few weeks.
I got perma banned for the following question on askreddit: African Americans have you ever been called the N word and if so how did you deal with it? That is an exact copy and paste. Just out of curiousity does this community have anything like askhistorians?
There probably aren’t enough people with historian questions to have enough questions to get people checking a community every day/week, so questions on that or any other specific topic would probably get seen by more people by just making a post in an “Ask Lemmy” community. However, !askhistorians@lemmy.world exists with 10 posts since 28 June 2023! I expected to not find such a community or for it to have significantly fewer posts.
Not OP but I’ve come over because I accidentally commented on one account on a subreddit where I was banned on an old account (for a dumbass janny reason) and got an IP ban for ban evasion. I just forgot I was banned on an old account and I regularly make new ones for privacy reasons. Really stupid. So I thought I’d give Lemmy a try (I still don’t fully understand it but it seems good enough).
I don’t know if perhaps they’re stepping up IP bans and that’s why you’re seeing more? Just a guess.

A community named like “Ask Lemmy” would probably be most useful to get questions answered, like !asklemmy@lemmy.world or !asklemmy@lemm.ee

You can also search specifically for communities, comments, users, etc.: https://sh.itjust.works/search?q=Ask&type=Communities&listingType=All&page=1&sort=TopAll
There is also !whatisthisthing@lemmy.world and other “what is” communities, which would be more useful for that specific type of question.
