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'm working on transitioning over. I mean all the subreddits I follow are hard to just replace on a whim but slowly I'm getting there. Probably gonna download one of the phone apps for lemmy too.
Just switched recently but I feel as if the communities in lemmy produces quality content than reddit
I’m enjoying it more than I thought
I for sure am! As someone who craves a sense of novelty, all the new instances and communities are awesome. My posts actually have an impact again and don't get automatically downvoted by some bot.
Heavy Reddit user here. Joined Lemmy today. I like what I'm seeing when accessing Lemmy through a desktop browser but the mobile experience leaves a lot to be desired. Nonetheless, I'm excited to be here and look forward to rapid improvements as new users keep joining.
Yeah, I downloaded the Jerboa source to see if I could help but I Android Studio and Kotlin will be a learning experience for me.
In fairly short order, once I left Twitter for Mastodon, I became far more active than I ever had been on the birdsite. And already, I've found there is nothing on reddit that I was following that I can't find with Lemmy. I suspect I'll become a lot more involved here over time.
It's not that the fediverse is a good replacement for twatter, Reddit, Facebook, etc...it's what we all should have been doing all along. It's like having old school usenet back.
Fight the power!
Since I deleted both of my reddit accounts I've spent all me social time on Lemmy. First couple of days sucked, but now I'm really enjoying it.
I’m spending the majority of my time here. There are some subs connected to my job that I still visit but that’s at most once a day in a weekday. I feel no need to browse Reddit.

As soon as I found couple of the most valuable (for me) communities here, I was done with reddit

I haven't opened reddit in 4 days
Im 90 % Lemmy and 10% Reddit right now. But i think that i soon will be 100% Lemmy. Only thing that stopping me from making the switch totally is some minor things about the mobile apps for Lemmy.

I deleted my Reddit account a week ago. I'm just wading into Lemmy and subscribing to things.
I've also started spending more time in Apple News for news items (I miss the comments section so much) and Hacker News for technical stuff. I hope Lemmy communities continue to grow.
I made a lemmy account today, as I found out that all of the subreddits I'm a part of hava (at least for now) migrated to lemmy. But I've been pretty much no time on reddit recently so idk...
Is there any compilation lists of subs migrating to lemmy or do I just try my luck looking for communities? I leaved Reddit and I'm trying to set home somewhere but I'm still trying to figure out Lemmy.

I am still trying to figure out what exactly means to subscribe/register in a instance instead of another in the fediverse. I'm currently using kbin.social, but not yet sure what that means in the end as far as content delivery and reach and I consider myself quite tech savy, so this part is a bit more difficult. Apart from this, I am lacking a solid Android app, so if there's anything good out there, please do let me know.

Not yet.. none of my favorite communities made it over yet.
You can use Lemmy Explorer to search all the (900 or so) Instances for your community. If those Instances are federated with this one (most of the are), you can subscribe and post into that Instance's community without having to create another account.
When Reddit collapses for good, it will be the end of Lemmy. There will be nothing to talk about, no subject to talk about.
