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.

This place reminds me of old school Reddit, before they started trying to turn it into a traditional social media platform. I love it!
Exactly. It's janky and doesn't always work. But it's not riddled with ads and echo chambers. What a breath of fresh air.
Yep, exactly! Not the same tired obvious joke repeated over and over in comments. Karma doesn't matter, so no karma whores. Just people talking and sharing info - how it should be. I've been going through and trying to find my favorite app for Lemmy (Android). So far Liftoff is the clear winner, but there's still a handful left to checkout. Have you found any decent apps?
personally using jerboa, but i haven't tried liftoff yet. thanks for the tip!
I've been giving the wefwef web app a try. They posted an update today from 0.11 to 0.12 and all I had to do to update is open the menu and tell it to update. Took half a second. Didn't have to close the app or open another store.
It supports swipe gestures for comments as well.
But I've heard that jerboa is bad about a connection issue, especially when posting a comment. Makes users hit submit multiple times without closing the window due to it not registering the submission.
Have liftoff installed, but haven't really tested it out yet.
Just my two cents thus far with two days lurking, and first day of having an account.
