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 includes using AI responses and summaries.

Yes, reddit is one of the most popular sites on the internet and lemmy (the whole fediverse really) is much, much smaller. I browse /all/new, id never do that on reddit.
It's better this way tbh
Agreed. Kinda weird how a smaller userbase actually feels better. Only problem is less people to answer specific questions and generally be active in niche communities. On the other hand you know people better, may even get to know them in real life. It's more personal.
Yeah this is much closer to reddit in the mid 2000s. I'll happily take the trade, even if it means I dont get replies im looking for (although I almost always do, lots of lemmings browse /all/new and stumble onto stuff)
I really enjoy being able to browse by new and the feed isnt just a bunch of junk.
everytime i do that here i'm just shocked at all the filth that shows up. very little quality content here.
however if i was a furry who jerked myself off about linux and had a victimhood-superiority complex about my autism, i'd be in heaven. it's scary to me how prolific that segment of the userbase is here.
Just block the communities you dont like. I dont want porn, non-English comms, etc. Two clicks and problem solved.
Also, why are you scared of autistic Linux furries?
I do, that doesn't mean they keep making new ones that are ever more specific, or new ones are popping up on new instances.
I'm not scared, I'm annoyed. Just like I hate people who ride Harleys. They are obnoxious and it sucks to be subjected to their bullshit for just existing in the same space as them.
I dont have an issue with people who ride normal motorcycles... almost as if they don't have anything to prove and are just enjoying their hobby without being obnoxious weird jerks...
It's also hilarious to me they get so upset that you might find them obnoxious because they really do think they are super wonderful amazing people. I made a complain last week about obnoxious Linux people, and people replied with multi-paragraphs to argue with me how not obnoxious they are and that if I don't think Linux is special than I'm a pathetic werido who worships windows.
They are that socially clueless and sadly stupid enough to really see the world in 'me vs everyone else' terms. When you point out their poor weird behaviors, they just lean into them and get defensive. 'leave me alone!' no dude, it's you that's not leaving me alone, because you can't keep your shit to your own communities, probably because of the victim-superiority complex they have. They need to broadcast it because they need to be aggrieved, like your typical Harley rider needs to be the loudest most insecure person on the road.
