No Stupid Questions
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.

Do you prefer the style of Twitter, or Reddit? Tweets or threads? That's the big difference.
As a side option: Kbin. It's a Reddit alternative like Lemmy (and pretty much works the same way for the purposes of this), but it also has better federation with mastodon, and every community has both a 'reddit-like' half and a 'twitter-like' half so you kinda get the best of both worlds.
Oh I didn't release there was that much difference between Kbin and Lemmy, I knew they were similar but I didn't release they sort of work together a bit more.
I like the UI of Threads sure but never been a huge user of Twitter or Reddit. haven't really been a user of Social Media but I do find Lemmy a lot more freeing in the chatting sort of way.
More than that too. Different coding, better (subjectively) UI, you can block users, communities, domains, and (coming 'soon') instances, the stuff I mentioned, plus we can see upvotes/downvotes and who did them on threads and comments like admins on lemmy can. Not sure if lemmy has userstyles yet via tampermonkey and the like, but we got tons too to customize the UI and add extra features, there's even a Kbin Enhancement Suite now lol.
Only drawback is the dev(s) don't have an API yet, so no apps at this time. Several apps are ready to add kbin once the API is up tho, and the mobile kbin is real damn good so it's hard to complain on that 1 point. I made a Beehaw and Kbin account at the same time, haven't touched Beehaw in weeks lol.
I've just created my kbin account now, I'll give it a good go, been enjoying Lemmy the most as of the moment but if I can find a platform that works even better for me then that would be great.
Good thing is, any communities you enjoyed on lemmy, you still got access to!
Yeah I it's amazing having the Fediverse <3
