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.

Anyone else have both a Lemmy and a *bin account? Is this normal or do I need to like, pick one or something?

Several account as well. Is not a dogma, just do what you want.

I had a kbin account from the initial exodus, but have become exclusive to my current instance, because it’s functional with Voyager and the instance is relevant to my interests.

E: Fixed some meanings.

I have several Lemmy and a few other fediverse accounts, use what you want however works best for you.

What is bin or what is a bin account?

[–] 667@lemmy.radio 4 points 3 months ago

Kbin or mbin

You just used kbin account to ask a question in lemmy community, I think that answers your question.

I am also following few kbin communities from my lemm.ee account

[–] gedaliyah@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

You can use both. There is likely to be a lot of overlap, but no matter. You just have to remember when to say magazine and when to say community I guess?

[–] wjrii@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

There are two main differences at this point: MBin (KBin itself is dying as the dev had some combination of burnout and undisclosed personal shit) has better Mastodon integration (if slightly confusing), but worse app support. For "Reddit like" functionality, they're pretty much completely comparable and compatible. If you're happy with your setup, no need for two accounts.

I created also mbin account (on fedia) to try it. I used it mostly as a backup when SJW it down however, over the year, it really improved. My lemmy account is still my main, but at a point in future it may change

[–] snoopy@peculiar.florist 1 points 3 months ago (2 children)

@Ziggurat so you prefer mbin over lemmy ? Wht are your tought about its UI ? What is its difference with kbin? Do hashtag and tag work well there ? @funbreaker

[–] Ziggurat@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 months ago

Which one I prefer is a good question. On mbin, I like the smoother UI, and the existing Mastodon integration (but not perfect), it seems that old federation problems from kbin are more or less solved.

Feel like that lemmy is still the default app, has more clients (Alexandrie on Web) and sometimes less delay to federated.

We'll see how it evolves in the future.

Also vous ici :)

Hashtags seem not to do anything but group tags work great. I see gup.pe groups all the time in my microblog feed
