No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

I would personally choose one or two of the biggest, most active ones, and then cross-post.
Quantity comes first, then quality.
I think this is my take as well. It's probably worth it to post to the top two or so, if there isn't a clearly active one.
Eventually this might have to flip if we manage to grow big enough.
Should we also try to automate to populate communities? There's probably rss-type bots out there for news articles etc. But could also proxy some stuff over from certain subreddits (not through an api but just scraping). Not sure how people view that behavior.
i personally think that would help, but I don't have the technical know-how to do it. Do you?
Yeah I do, might take some time to at least figure out how to post the top 3 posts of a community automagically. If it works OK I'll share the code and people can take it from there.
Thank you! I don't have any expertise so I can't help. But I think it would be useful to do top 10 (or maybe 20) posts of all time rather than 3. When starting a community, more content is needed.
Some way to automatically import the top post per day would probably be useful too but that's likely more complex.
Ooh I like the idea of a community starter too
Btw this is being done on another kbin community too:
