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.

Not only is it federating from you to lemmy.world, it's federating over the airways around the world!

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

It would appear so.

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

You are federating but lemmy.world is bad at federating-out right now. So it's not a great place to test this.

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

You tell me, do you see this comment?

I don't know how much propagation time is involved in synchronizing instances. Most of the time it seems pretty quick. I'm seeing the OP plus one reply on lemm.ee anyway.

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

should've propagated by now

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

Hello Mr. FBI man, Sir!

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hello from my kbin instance! 👋

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

how has it been, setting up a kbin instance btw? I've been trying to get mine fully working... Does lemmy federation work fully with you?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Some Lemmy instances don't federate correctly but most of them do. Be wary, it takes time - I thought it wasn't working for a bit.

The kbin matrix space is pretty helpful, if you have a matrix account.

Other considerations:

  • The MERCURE_JWT_SECRET .env needs to be 32 characters long (duh, but I wasn't thinking when I was setting passwords)
  • The .env file gives an example media subdomain as media.your.domain but it should actually be your.domain/media
  • Installing yarn might actually install something totally different. The docker instructions get around this using some custom repository in the instructions. We got around that a different way by installing the latest version of nodejs, npm, and installing yarn from npm. (We are using Ubuntu 22.04 so the experience might be different for you)
  • We are rapidly running out of space on our VPS and can't diagnose it. We know it's not the amount of media stored. The docker containers steadily increase in size until the instance hangs and we have to restart, but at this point restarting still consumes 80% of our 80GB of space so we have to diagnose this and fix it.

Regarding you last point, is it logs? I haven't tried to set up a personal instance yet but I have had trouble before with other services defaulting to debug mode for logging and generating reams and reams of useless space wasting logs.

I bring you greetings from the kbin instance known as Fedia.IO

All Hail the mighty Jerry.
