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.

On reddit I was a lurker that posted like once or twice a year, but ever since joining lemmy I've started posting multiple times a day.

I am defenitely more active here when posting, but, looking at my reddit-account it becomes clear I was an active commenter before I left.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I've become a more avid lurker compared to a infrequent lurker on reddit

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

One of us, one of us!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

The opposite way for me.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I wouldn't say that I'm any more or less active a poster on Lemmy versus Reddit. If the community has a topic I'm interested in and engaging content, I will post and reply.

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

Anger and spite, like what other have mentioned, but also, it's always nice to be part of a growing community.

You feel like you're actually contributing rather than just being a statistic.

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

I comment more but post little. But I'm also on vacation so maybe I'll post more when I'm back home

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Honestly, I even set up my own instance, feels much more relevant.

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

Definitely commenting and upvoting more. Didn't even think about it until I saw your post!

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

Definitely. I hardly even looked at Reddit for like 3 years. I feel comfortable and somewhat eager to talk here on Lemmy. The people are so much nicer, I’m not anxious about some entitled prick fighting with me about opinions.

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

Now that you mention it, yes and I'm enjoying the posts more.

[–] h_a_r_u_k_i 1 points 1 year ago

Me too. We're still the early days so I feel the "responsibility" to make the communities more lively. It's not much but at least I know I'm contributing something.

I'M DOING MY PART!

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

Yup. Comments too.

I just don't want to be the annoying little siblings to any of the old-school lemmings. Or, accidentally partake in overloading any instances that are being hosted via donations or personal hardware.

Don’t have as many rules about how to post here and new posts don’t get caught up with needing to be approved.
