If a topic is in any way controversial, there’s a good chance it will get removed, when I’m sure the same content wouldn’t get removed on Reddit. I know it depends on subs and instances but I mean more generally, and for example AskLemmy vs AskReddit. Reddit seems to have more leeway for things, whereas Lemmy doesn’t and seems harder on censorship. Not only that but they remove things even when they’re not controversial such as when I just asked a question about savory fruit and sweet vegetables that got removed. They also give no reason at all for why things get removed nor any notice of its removal until you realise later. It happens so frequently that I wonder if this post will get removed too for some reason.

    I imagine the moderator feels that you are flooding the community with nonsense as described in the rule about spam. It’s likely that moderators in communities with fewer posts and fewer voters take a more active role in removing content they feel is low-quality, while post volume and voting would hide such content from most users in a higher-volume community.

      So how do we determine if a question is nonsense? I didn’t realise the questions had to be necessarily important
