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.

It would be very interesting (I'm brand new to "federation") if sub-sites that share a name could be aggregated, but who would be allowed to moderate it, and how would unaffiliated subs be disentangled? Maybe this could be an easily accessible user option, and to each their own collection of sub pages?
Also what about slightly different names with the same theme, tech and technology? I'm interested to see what comes of these questions.
I've been thinking about this.
I am thinking essentially the solution is the equivalent of multi reddits. In the UI, either from the user perspective, or the server admin perspective, you can setup communities that are just aggregations of different communities.
Then a user can choose to browse /c/cats which is actually just /c/cats from lemmy.world, lemmy.ml, etc as one feed.
I'm very curious what the viewer applications will look like for this site. I feel it will need to be very open source due to managing the larger number of user names one potentially has to make. It currently feels like there will be a lot of aggregation put on the user, and I personally look forward to the higher amount of customization.
When Reddit made it so everyone could have access to their full list of subscribed sub Reddits, rather than just premium users, it made the site a much more enjoyable experience. I hope Lemmy app developers take that improvement and run with it.
