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.

Title. I'm wondering what's everyone's take on this. On the one hand it'd mean seeing multiples of one post if you're subscribed to equivalent communities between communities. On the other hand, right now I think a big worry is this momentum we have dying out due to lack of content.

We can't possibly predict which community will be the "big" community across the Fediverse, so maybe cross-posts are the way to go until things grow big enough.

Thoughts?

Well, there’s this place:

My new community got quite a few subscribers from there. Just make sure to post relative links using both the Lemmy and kbin routes (/c/ and /m/).

EDIT: oh, I almost forgot, there actually is a site for community discovery: Lemmy Browser. I don’t think it currently lists kbin communities but we could ask them to (or if it’s open source, someone could implement it).

Realistically, I feel like having a common link syntax must either exist -- I haven't really familiarized myself with the syntax yet -- or is gonna get sorted out soon.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah, just adding support for both would make the most sense

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

It already exists but Lemmy converts it into a regular link (I don’t know what kbin does):

Syntax: [[email protected]](/c/[email protected])

What Lemmy does: [Community](https://instance.tld/c/community)

Correct Lemmy link: [Community](/c/[email protected])

Correct kbin link: [Community](/m/[email protected])

The first problem is that it should be a relative URL so visitors from any instance are sent to the community on their own instance.

The second one is that the conversion should be done at rendering time instead of in the editor, so the client (Lemmy or kbin) can format the link according to its own route pattern.

I'll definitely post some communities there :) I think it's easy enough to discover lemmy communities, I just feel that kbin magazines ain't getting as much love haha.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Could you please recommend some good kbin magazines here too? I think this thread has a lot of interested users.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I made a post here. I wanted to share these more femme/women oriented communities to hopefully get more attention. I know we can be a bit of a minority in more technical spaces haha.

also a shoutout to AskKbin which is a great community.

Cool, thank you! I’ll check out AskKbin.
