1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.

As someone who runs a community, the ability to disable downvotes and have more customization within that Community would help a great deal.
I also wouldn't mind the ability to post something like a Delta on a comment to show a changed view or something.
“Suggest edits” that Quora had. Suggesting edits allowed the crowd to make all sorts of improvements to answers.
For people to stop using downvoting as a method of disagreeing and only for content that is not appropriate.
Being able to upvote without getting an error and having to reload the page, gets really annoying really fast
Turn off Downvote. Lemmy have some quirky user where they will lurk all the time and downvote content that doesn't fit their own preference. Like, what are your purpose? If you don't like seeing that language why not turn it off? Why not scroll past the topic you don't like or don't matter to you? It chase away a lot of people because they feels unwelcome.
These quirks is also the reason it's hard to recommend lemmy to my acquaintance and friends.
