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 must be missing something. I've been trying for too long to figure out how to get a language server in emacs, specifically for python, but at this point I'd be happy to see anything work. I am so fucking sick of following written online tutorials that never work but I need to use something other than vs code, so the "trying to get emacs to fucking work" effort will continue.

I gave up on regular emacs because there seems to be no way to install lsp-mode on it. doomemacs seems to be a more refined easy-to-use version and has a working package manager so I started using that. I finally did manage to get lsp-mode installed in doomemacs but that's just the first step of what is a convoluted multi-step process and I don't know what to do next.

Can someone link me to a definitive, actually working, actually correct video tutorial of how to get a language server on doomemacs?

I think your problem is that you installed the Emacs "plugin", but that is just the interface to the server. I think you need to install the actual language server on your system. Outside of Emacs, in your package manager or with pipx for example.

You can also try to press Spc-: and then run lsp-install-server inside of doom Emacs, but I had problems with that.

Apologies if you already know this, but just making sure: A language server is first installed independently from its emacs/vim/etc integration.

You have lsp-mode set up. Did you install python-lsp-server and just need a guide to point lsp-mode at it?
