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 [email protected] or [email protected].
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.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try [email protected] or [email protected]
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

I sort by new so editing your post won't affect my feed. But in general I respond directly to comments, unless a question is asked multiple times or shines a light on something I left out, then I'll edit the main body of the post.
I don't know if there is "protocol". I just do what makes sense to me and not stress about formalities.
This is what I do too. If I edit a post, I'll comment on any replies to let them know that the post has been changed too though, especially if a conversation has started.
Once I up or down-vote a post, I never see it again, unless someone responds to something I wrote. If there's something I want to check later, I have to Save it.
If I respond to a post or comment, and then that gets edited, I'm pretty sure I don't get notified. And since I've already up-voted it, I'll never see it again (unless I Save it and remember to check it later).
If a post is more than a day old, and the info you're editing is important, make a new post. Reference the first post if necessary.
If its a small distinction, but the overall question is the same, edit.
If the wording could have a completely different meaning, delete and repost.
