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’m definitely doing better but nothing crazy like multiple times a day😳 good on you for providing content

[–] THEMASTERMIND@feddit.ch 1 points 9 months ago

I never even had an account on reddit but on lemmy i post shit ?

[–] SuperSoftAbby@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] esty@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

no seriously it's so much more engaging and chill than Reddit , you don't have to deal with karma whores etc etc... Love it here

[–] BrerRabbit@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

@SoLowChoLowRider I agree i was a forever lurker but now i actually want to try and post and interact.

Mostly active on my own instance (Feddit.nl) with posts and comments.

[–] wef@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

definitely find smaller sites like lemmy easier to post on since its much easier to repeat yourself on reddit and perhaps more modded so i refrain from saying a lot of stuff?

[–] fne8w2ah@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Same here, like early last decade.

I’m a more avid commenter but haven’t done a lot of posting yet. I also have two accounts for different instances and actually use them both unlike on Reddit where I had two and never used the alt.

[–] Lakes@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] odium@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago

I'm posting some things that I would've normally just googled to do my part.

[–] TheWaterGod@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

I've been trying to kickstart four communities because apparently I'm a masochist, but I've posted more in the last month than I did in the last 10 years on reddit. It reminds me a lot of my first couple of years on reddit (circa 2010/2011) and then my posting died off because you'd either get drowned out by the noise (hundreds or thousands of comments) or ignored in favour of a one liner joke.

I've seen a lot of people comparing Lemmy to early reddit, and I don't necessarily disagree, but I feel like there's one important distinction between the two. Even early reddit was driven by karma. There just wasn't as much people >10 years ago. I find the lack of karma on Lemmy refreshing. How it's gone back to the old forum way of just counting the number of posts is fantastic. It's a weird habit to break out of though because part of me still wants to go "I got no upvotes, time to delete" or "I'm getting downvotes, better delete my post".

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

Just you. I comment the same amount I always have, omaybe slightly less.

[–] Disgustoid@startrek.website 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Definitely more prolific thus far considering all the communities I've found on Lemmy so far are for hobbies and interests, and not just the slew of assorted cat pic subreddits I was subscribed to on Reddit. I'm sure the latter will come in time though.

Is anybody having some weird language not allowed glitch?

[–] EmperorHenry@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Nah, I've actually posted less on lemmy so far

[–] TheCheddarCheese@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)
