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 includes using AI responses and summaries.

EDIT: Thanks for the replies, everyone. From what I've gathered, I just have to be more patient, so I'll wait for the communities relevant to me to pop up. In the meantime, I'll temper my expectations and continue using my community as a resource repository and continue linking them to people I meet online who need them.

Maybe I'm just using it wrong, but I'm returning for more than a minute after a few weeks due to having exams to study for, and there's no notifications.

My community literally stopped in time after my last post, and I'm guessing it won't resume until I work down my queue of things to post after my finals are over.

I'm subscribed to several communities I was interested in on Reddit, but even knowing I have to switch to my subscribed communities every time I log in, the feed seems very different, almost lacking in ways I can't describe. For example, a big popular one about games hasn't been posting any posts about any games I care about, and when I search for a community for the games I do care about, they simply don't exist.

It's just really jarring to try to engage after a few weeks of logging in here and there to check on anything I missed, and nothing of note has really happened.

I am subscribed to 30-40 communties. I only use subscribed, sorted by Hot. I am pretty happy with what I am seeing, the content changes from the morning to the evening pretty much. Yes, a lot is member, but there is also tech and politics. I even blocked .ml and still have enough content...
