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.

Okay thank you. I'm just surprised that it's so few!
yeah, from my experience lemmy has way fewer but more active users compared to reddit
Yeah that’s been my take too. Honestly, minus missing more OC, I like Lemmy a lot. It’s definitely starting to hit that Reddit-like feel to it
This is exactly how Reddit felt before the great Digg exodus.
It's going to be interesting to see how Lemmy evolves and what impact this has on reddit. The engagement here and activity level of the users seems so much higher than on Reddit.
I wonder what percentage of "posters" came over verse lurkers.
What if reddit lost 50% of it's posters and lemmy got them all?
Yep... I still think the "Powerusers" - Mods and actually active Posters, creators of original content - were the ones most likely to use 3rd Party Apps and thus have left Reddit after all the shit that has happened
I noticed a huge drop in Quality in the last 2 Days on Reddit (and a rise of Alt-Right bs), lets see how it develops
For now I feel really comfortable here on Lemmy
I think there will be a natural constriction and consolidation in communities over the next few months.
It was almost like a landgrab with all the excitement and people creating communities. A lot of them were similar so they are diluted a bit.
I think, eventually, we'll see people gravitate to one or two particular instances of and the other will close or wither.
I wish some of the Lemmy servers were more intentional about community creation though--to reduce the number of similar communities.
I get that. I hope you're right so we can get bigger but fewer communities about the same topic
