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.

No, I haven't spent any time on Reddit since the closure, except for looking at r/Pics and their John Oliver err, protest. I haven't spent too much time on Lemmy though, that's because I've been busy helping out with an app for it :P
Since I deleted my reddit account, yes.
Same. I'm scaling down my Reddit use and preferring the use of Lemmy. So far, many of my main communities are still Reddit first, but that is decreasing ever more.
I guess it's currently about 70/30 percent of my time split across these two, favouring Lemmy in spite of the fact that I'm not yet following all the communities that I want to follow.
This site is super janky, when I load All, it just keeps adding new posts and moving things I'm reading. Hot doesn't bring up the most popular posts, but how do I filter for that? I am just filtering by most commented for now.
I'll keep using it, after all, if the experience is worse, I'll use it less which is actually a plus. And as a substitute, it is enough to keep me off Reddit. But it is categorically worse, even if it did have all the same content.
The Jank things I would expect to improve with time and popularity. A lot of things in lemmy have a 'slapped together prototype' feel to them, but with the lack of user base before all the reddit non-sense I can guess there wasnt much motivation to polish out the jank.
I quit reddit years ago, but joined lemmy after learning about the drama, just out of curiosity... so, yes.
The Lemmy software is kind of bad at the moment, has a lot of usability issues and bugs, and clearly wasn't "ready" for this type of massive influx of users.
...but, it's far from unusable. The content I've seen so far is pretty good (if sparse). The quality of discussions is definitely better than what I remember from reddit. I just hope the issues get fixed so that less techy users can migrate without frustrations, and we can hopefully see more varied discussions in the lemmyverse.
I haven't used Reddit for a week already
After 10 years on reddit, it wasn’t easy at first (at first being just the threat of apps not working). And I wasn’t sure where to go: Mastodon, Discord, Lemmy, etc. But as the communities grew, content increased, and I even found similar groups in the fediverse, I’ve been spending more and more time on Lemmy, and much more certain this the right direction.
Yes, but only because installing Leechblock to try and reduce time wasting on Reddit and Youtube happened to coincide with this whole Reddit thing, and I haven't blocked Lemmy yet :)
Im on Lemmy for 95% of stuff, only go back to Reddit for wikis on subreddits like r/AsianBeauty and r/BodyweightFitness. I don’t participate at all on there, I’m just there for the wiki. Huge transition tbh considering that l used Reddit for a lot of basic questions I had: cooking, fitness, career, etc etc. When I’m using it to answer questions as fundamental as those I’d say it used to play a huge role in my daily routine.
Though this is my first post over here, uninstalled RIF on the 12th (after buying premium as a thanks for the last decade of using that great app) and haven't been back to reddit since.
There are certainly plenty of subs I miss and things aren't all rosy here yet, but I refuse to ever go to reddit again. They brought me from a 4hr/day, decade long happy reddit user to a complete boycott overnight. Amazing business acumen.
Same here.

As of now, yeppp
I've stopped using it on mobile as I deleted sync, though my Lemmy app took the spot on my home screen. When at my desk I still load Reddit out of habit though
The only thing I look at on reddit now is save3rdpartyapps for updates, and check my 3rd party app subreddit from news from the dev hoping he announces a Lemmy app.
This is coming from someone with a severe reddit addiction where minutes couldn't pass without opening the app lol. 13 year old account.
Thanks for curing my addiction spez!
I quit reddit. It feels nice. Lemmy feels less toxic.
Same, replaced RIF with Jerboa in my home screen. I do miss few communities but I think is only matter of time.
I haven't cut Reddit out completely, as much as I dislike the organisation, I did enjoy the community and it'll still be a huge source of information for a while yet. But once RIF stops working I won't be using my phone anymore, just my PC. Lemmy is growing and it's fun to witness it
Since they confirmed that won't change their mind about the API changes, I uninstalled infinity and I only spend time here. So far has been great!
I love infinity. Hopefully they can migrate it onto here. Jerboa is promising but painful and has its issues.
I only use Lemmy now as a daily app, I just use Reddit as a glorified backlog (to search for some tech problem, or some product buying recommendation). For better or worse, there are a lot of useful information in there, but I won't actively engage with the website anymore.
I will until I run out of content here.
I am
Pretty much haven't gone back to reddit at all. I've been trying to transfer to Lemmy, but getting much of my scrolling fix off instagram nowadays.
Haven't been back to reddit, no
My only traffic to Reddit in over a week was search based. My only engagement was here and Facebook.
I miss Relay something awful. The mobile lemmy site has some strong inconveniences, the mobile app is missing some outright features.
I'd still rather be here than there.
I'm using lemmy more than I used to use Reddit, trying to post and comment more to help the community grow
