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 sure if I need to elaborate. I'm sick of having to scroll through an entire fucking novella just to find the recipe when I do a search for something.

Sounds like a market gap!

yeah, SEO hits recipe sites hard and requires them to demonstrate expertise by telling you about their family history before giving a brownie recipe

Personally, after I locate a recipe I like online, I import it to AnyList - app and web interface list management solution that handles recipes really well for me.

I also use AnyList to get around NYT paywalls. You can use the import function on the “sign-up/sign-in” page and it will import the whole recipe!

You're able to get around NYT paywall to read articles or to get recipes?

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

My apologies, I should have specified. I use it to import the NYT recipe information only. It won’t work on normal NYT articles.

That's sort of what allrecipes.com is, isn't it?

If you're looking for a wiki style nonprofit kind of thing, I'm hoping someone else can help!

I like allrecipes because it has lots of variations for the same recipe and reviews for each one.

No, it's not perfect. Reviews suffer from a first-mover advantage.

But...I can often get a really good idea if I search for three recipes for the same thing and then compare what they have in common and where they differ. The comments are great, too - they point out flaws and potential substitutions.

Curated recipe sites are great, but very few of them have good quality control - there are some excellent recipes, and also some duds that you really wonder how they made it in there.
