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.

I tried that in Liftoff and Jerboa, but I'm only seeing posts from lemmy.world, no matter how I sort, so I figured I was doing something wrong.
Maybe it's just a bug or maybe it's because I just added a bunch of non-local communities this afternoon and they haven't gone through yet. I'll try on a desktop tomorrow and see if everything's cleared up.
Thanks for the help!
Perhaps these communities you follow from remote instances are not very active, so your subscriptions from lemmy.world (which tend to be larger and more active communities) are obscuring them.
I suggest you change the sorting order to "New". I found that the default "Active" sorting always shows the same trending topics for days. Reddit also had this lazy refresh cadence with its "Hot" sorting, but to a lesser extent.
This happened to me with Jerboa, but it's a bug. Open your instance on the browser and click Subscribed to make sure it's working. They should show the same posts
Only new posts (after your sub) would be federated to your home. So you might need to wait sometimes.
If there's already new posts there it's probably fedi issue
I think this is the answer, because this morning in Liftoff I'm seeing posts from all of my subscribed communities.
Thanks for the insight!
In Liftoff at the top of the main page you'll see a big drop down. You need to change this to Subscribed, then you'll see every community you are subscribed to regardless of the instance.
So we have LOCAL and ALL feeds. Lemmy is missing a feature for feeds only on a remote instance.
e.g i can see LOCAL for lemmy.world. But i want to see LOCAL (or in this case REMOTE) for lemmy.ml.
You should be able to switch to the "subscribed" or "all" feed from the top in the liftoff app.
In wefwef I have the option to browse my home feed (subscriptions), a local feed (what happens on my home instance), and an all feed of all federated instances. Your client most certainly has an option for that as well. Otherwise, try wefwef.app, it’s Apollo for reddit, except it’s in web app form and for lemmy.
One way is to just browse your home feed and make sure you selected Subscribed or similar, here look at my screenshot:
. Also Lemmy.World is having some issues scaling so not the best choice IMHO for the main instance, bc it would be best a smaller and stabler one.
I really don't like Lemmy's interface at all.. I've been using Connect for Lemmy but switched to Jerboa and really like it.
I would just suggest using apps instead of the website until they are able to make something that actually works..
I'm one of the people that actually like how reddits interface, and I don't like the old design, it's just to complex and 2000s for me.
If you subscribe to the communities, they'll show up on your front page just like local communities. If you want to browse them, you csn go to lemmy.world/c/community@instance
