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.

I'm already having a good experience with Lemmy. A couple of features that would make it perfect for me are better discovery tools for communities and the ability to merge feeds from similar ones.
And I have to say, searching for anything (whether here or on Reddit) always feels like a bit of a challenge. A more robust search feature would be amazing! But overall, I'm really enjoying the vibe here.
Definitely, the good thing about Reddit is that it had a good player as well because I'm a guy who spent a lot of time making content, also you can upload videos no matter the size (I think) which is cool.
I'm new but also enjoying my time, I like how non judging this site is because on Reddit I'd get messages like "Uhhh OP has an interesting history" basically trolls and stuff, but It's whatever, I don't mind.
That's so true about the video player and upload limits, it's no doubt a huge plus for creators like you? And I totally get what you mean about the more welcoming vibe here; it's one of the best things about this space.
Just a friendly heads-up as you're getting settled: while it's generally much kinder, Lemmy has its share of 'interesting' characters here too (a wonderful mix of great people and a few bad apples). But the ability to curate your own experience is much stronger here!
Glad you're enjoying your time so far!
I'm enjoying my time so far, I'm waiting my 100 day ban pass I guess from Reddit (I'm like almost there) and see what I do, I'll probably keep using this site since it allows me to be more free than reddit.
In general, I would also like to see this site adopting more niche subreddits, I know I can probably make a lot of those but I don't have a lot of time to moderate stuff.
