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.

Hi, not sure if this is the right place to post. I'm moving over to Jerboa from rif and I'm having a hard time changing my phone settings. I'm on Android 10. When I used rif, I could open reddit links - and only reddit links - within rif and stay in the app. With Jerboa, clicking on instances, communities, or user pages in comments automatically starts up Gmail. I get that fediverse is based on the same concept as email, but how do I get my phone to stop assuming every @ is an email address?

I think it's already there (just have to activate it on the app permissions), but jerboa doesn't correctly open links yet so I wouldn't do it yet

Ya I set it to open links and the app just closes. It'll be a really good qol update when it can.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Yeah the same happens to me with the app closing. I think that's on Jerboa :/ Hopefully it will be fixed soon

We only now realize how important is the link handling and how convenient writing r/subreddit was on reddit. Often a birthofasub happened from users simply composing a subreddit link on the fly that doesn't exist yet.

The lack of share also bugs me in Jerboa

r/subredditsashashtags

Yes it exists

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

afaik that's because the links are handled by your phone and not the app.

Each instance has it's own domain name and Jerboa would need to support all of those to stay in the app itself. You can view these by going into App Info -> Open by default

Yeah they're the "verified" links, easily added to an AndroidManifest xml file - not really compatible with the way Lemmy instances work.

Or you'd have to think about a central pointer like site, kinda what farside.link is for Invidious and nitter..

Like something completely separate that you do login to but just rewrites the url to your home instance. But then every link on the platform would have to be pointing to that url. Could get complex really quickly because there's no reliable way to determine what a Lemmy instance is, brutally say that anything that matches "/c/" should be rewritten could be a fun experiment.
