Is it true that you can only cancel insurance contracts at the end of a calendar year? Do you need to send a registered letter? When?

For telecom services (mobile, home internet), how can you switch providers without too much downtime and ideally without losing your phone number?

Thank you!

Maybe you had on Reddit or an other platform or maybe you found something new here.

Was surprised to see a considerable Swiss flag on r/places (next to DICKS). Is it still active over there?

Where is everyone at?

Did you find some good communities for sysadmin and/or programming?

Would you be interested in having a community here on feddit.ch to discuss some sysadmin or dev related stuff?

Like pixelfed, mastodon, etc.?

What's your favorite and why?

Were you more of a commenter, poster or lurker? Why did it change?

And why did you chose said OS?

Are you happy with it or likely to switch to something else?

I don't really like the way youtube has turned into a moneymaking cashcow with lots of ads.

And how much do you spend in average per kg?

Just saw a spectacular display in Zürich yesterday and I'm wondering for how long we will be able to see them. I mean, they are pretty terrible for the environment and the animals.. but they look and feel so good!

In a lot of places in Switzerland it is going to be hot this weekend, what are your 'tricks' to keep cool?

If yes, which one are you using and why?

If no, why not?

• If you go by car: Why are other modes not an option for you (e.g. public transport)? What would need to be done for you to switch?
• If you go by public transport: Are you faster than by car?
• If you go by bike: Are you faster than by car/public transport? Do you still take the bike on rainy days?

In general: How long does your journey take?

Alright the previous one was very easy.

This one should be more of a challenge.

Clue 1: near a city that hosts a movie festival

Clue 2: same valley than 007 Bridge

How can we help?

Let's increase a bit the difficulty after yesterday warm up.

Clue: 13 stars.

Anything you're missing and you liked on other platforms? What is your opinon on the fediverse so far?

I know it's against the law, but I found conflicting information regarding how likely it is to be enforced.

So assuming you don't have a massive quantity of data upload, is torrenting some pirated (copyrighted) content relatively safe or not?

Have you ever gotten in trouble for this (or someone you know)?

Should it stay the same or deliver more for meat production? Or should it have more space for biodiversity and grain?

Do you personally help to reduce your own CO₂ emissions? What should the country do to reach this goal? Who will be the winners / losers of all this?

We try to answer them as good as we can.

How do you experience the weather in switzerland the last couple of months?

Is it justified to bump up the api pricing? What will be the outcome? Did it have an inpact on you?

For everyone in here wondering about the missing communities from other instances, i hope to give you some insight.

Each lemmy instance, like this one, acts as an server for multiple communities, posts and users. You can create a user, which lives on a specific instance and browse different communities through an instance.

Normally, you only see communities from your local instance. If you're interested in other communities, you can look them up on the lemmy community browser (thanks to feddit.de) and later type in the link to a post or community into the search on the top right. it always took me two tries to add a community, maybe a later update does this better.

After you found your community through this instance, you can subscribe to it with your user and create your personal frontpage.

You may not see all the posts and comments after you added the community. This seems to be normal behavior.

This community should act as an replacement for all r/askswitzerland reddit refugees or generally users, who want to ask questions about switzerland.
