This is not the place for support questions.
Please read the rules before posting!
This is not a support forum, this is to serve a similar purpose to AskReddit, meaning to ask users their opinions on things, about experiences they've had, etc.
To ask general support support questions please go over to !techsupport@lemmy.world
To ask Lemmy.World support questions, please go over to !support@lemmy.world
YOU'RE NOT MY SUPERVISOR
but yeah, seeing dozens of support related questions kinda goes against the expressed purpose of this community.
Really hope it works this time
That support community is for lemmy.world related questions, you can go to !techsupport@lemmy.world for tech questions about anything
Noted and post modified, thanks for the clarification.
Maybe a bot would be useful to detect when a post is a support question, and reply with links to the support communities? Unfortunately I don’t think newcomers will read the pinned post or previous posts about this that have come up.
Well, when I or someone else has writing a bot for that, it will indeed be a good idea lol

Is there a sub for lemmy related technical questions only?
Would be nice for specific implementation questions.
I think https://lemmy.world/c/techsupport is also for that, there's also a lemmy.ml tech support community, I don't remember exactly what its called though
What are we allowed to ask then? Honest question
The way I understand it, no technical support questions (because there are other communties for that). Other than that any good faith questions about anything are okay, as long as it's not considered discriminatory, hateful or otherwise disruptive. And the mods decide what those latter three are.
Like asking something about fishing or cooking or life advice or anything you might want to ask someone.
Why not both?
“IT enthusiasts of Lemmy, how would you tackle x or y problem?”
Could lead to some interesting answers but i agree that follow up questions and expectations to actually get the problem fixed should be somewhere else.
There's definitely some grey area, but mainly we're trying to not have this community be spammed with things like "why can't I view pictures" and "the server is down someone do something"
alt.sysadmin.recovery here I come.
You removed my post that was not support related. I can only presume it was because it was simply about Lemmy (not a request for help or how to use the site) and you misinterpreted your own rule.
Also, the post just disappeared. No reference to it again, no explanation.
Would be nice to see you enforcing the rules as they’re actually written and also at least provide some explanation about what happened.
Ah, so you are making the same mistake that the reddit group did. OK, thanks for the warning, I'm heading out.
