I’ve noticed many posts that ask questions that have already been asked many times. This leads to people unnecessarily re-stating points already made before. It can also open struggle sessions that were already settled. If you have a question (especially a seemingly common one) it is best to search it up first. Search by “local.” “community” and “creator” can also be useful. Keywords are very helpful. I know the lemmy search function isn’t the best, but it works ok. It’s only taken me a couple minutes to find old posts on say, the DPRK or the Democrats (frequent subjects). You can also consult the dessalines faq. After that if you still can’t find anything or enough detail post away! If its a small question you can ask on the weekly discussion.

On memes, you don’t need to post something everywhere. If you post on one community on lemmygrad most people will see it. Its not reddit. Its great to post to other instances though. I noticed multiple times there have been discussions on hexbear that happen on lemmygrad a couple days later.

One more thing, if you are going to post youtube links remove the “?” and everything after that, its used to track where clicks are coming from.
