I'm not sure if I can post here. Lemmy seems kind of complicated. For instance, I tried to post something and it said I can't because I'm on a local instance. So how do I find out what instance a community is on and how do I make it so I can post?

An example: I went to https://join-lemmy.org/instances and searched for nostupidqestions and nothing was found.

It can feel overwhelming at first, but you'll catch on quickly. You're making posts, there's not too much else to it :)

It looks like a few of your past posts were removed by the mods of those communities, but you'll find a lot of users here are happy to help clarify things.

If you have more questions, feel free to post here: [email protected]. Like Blaze mentioned, it's intended for this purpose.

For example your question about Voyager:

  1. Tap the community name from your main feed
  2. Tap the 3 dot menu
  3. Tap Sidebar

Rules aren't in any special place, it's just what the mods write in the sidebar of a community. Since each app behaves a little different, when in doubt just open the community in the web browser and look for things there
