Hi, New here!
Hi there, I’m new here. We were told to explore Lemmy for a class project on online communities. Is this a good place to start asking questions?

For real? That's.. odd. The internet's a very edgy place. What sort of class/grade recommended?
It’s for a college writing class, we’re exploring privacy, or lack there of, in online communities. The assignment is to join a community of our choice on lemmy because of its anonymity and explore digital identity. While at the same time we’re reading the novel 1984 and connecting it to modern day privacy concerns.
A college course reading Orwell? That's rad. I'm a tin foil hat type of person and I've gotta say, attaching to the internet alone is already pretty heinous. Even your ISP is monitoring your DNS requests, selling the info, keeping records, etc- all before a person so much as logs in to a website/platform.
IMO the hellscape of 1984 is nothing compared to what's going on in the real world.

…and what sort of questions?
Welcome Sunfish! Are you studying Sociology?

You've found /c/DIY , which is about, like, fixing your garbage disposal. So if you want to talk about remodelling a house, then yes, you are in the right place. For general questions, though, you should probably look for a different community.
