  • glaber@lemmy.mltoLinguistics@lemmy.ml•[Meta] Users, I need your input. How do you want c/linguistics to be?

    1. Let it roll! But I’m a fan of pop-science and think the community could be a good place to discuss general questions, maybe delving into them if we see they hit an interesting area

    2. Yeah. No spurious stuff, though maybe we could have some kind of Bad Linguistics Mondays? And allow for posts that have bad linguistics examples with a rule making it mandatory for the OP to explain what’s wrong and provide the correct explanation

    3. As someone else here said, as long as it doesn’t cause a flame war I think it’s not too harmful to let things go a little off-topic, as long as they have a tangential relation to linguistics or languages

    4. I have a Bachelor’s Degree! I like all subfields, but I think my favorite would be historical linguistics and semantics!

    5. As standalone posts I wouldn’t know what to tell you… Definitely news, though.

    It’s just another instance, but one that supports microblogging and some slightly different features. The fediverse is made out of instances.

    Instances mainly affect where your data is physically stored (every instance has their own server) and what content moderators of your instance have decided to block (for example, they could decide to block content from a neo-nazi instance). You would still have access to all content from pretty much all other instances.

    Other examples of Lemmy instances are beehaw.org, lemmy.blahaj.zone, lemmy.ml, sh.itjust.works, etc. You have a more exhaustive list at https://join-lemmy.org/instances
