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.

Well, when I look at the All communities list, I'm not yet seeing an endless flood of groups with "_irl", "circlejerk", or groups for every single damn anime in existence.
So, thankfully, it's not feeling too Reddit just yet.
Subreddits for small niche interests is the thing I miss most from reddit and the only thing I return for now and then. Maybe I don't care for those singular anime, but I'm glad the people that do have/had it available to them.
Right now I can't watch twitch whole working so the only places to get a quick update on evo (what many consider to be the biggest fighting game tournament yearly, happening now) are reddit and twitter. Not great imo.
I get that, but the anime subs were just so absurdly numerous. I just wanted to browse /r/all without having the entire page be anime and "weeb" stuff. I would click to filter out subs over and over and over again, which would help for a while, but eventually /r/all would be flooded with a new batch of anime subs. All I wanted was a "filter out all anime subs" checkbox in the settings.
I think part of what annoyed me about the anime subs also is how much of it was the lowest of low-effort content (which was the same state of affairs for the "irl" and "circlejerk" subs, hence why I disliked them just as much). If I skimmed /r/all and came across thoughtful discussions about subjects that didn't interest me, that never bothered me. But a screenful of crappy image posts never failed to annoy me.
I'm not arguing that the subs didn't have a right to exist or anything, all I'm saying is that I personally found them annoying, wanted to not see them, and have enjoyed the fact that I'm not seeing so much of that same content now that I'm browsing Lemmy instead.
The way we used the service is different I guess. /r/all always had too much garbage for me to enjoy. I just subbed to whatever I was interested in and never had to worry about nonsense subreddits.
