!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:
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.

It appears to only apply to my server, but it's strange I can change stuff in a community that I don't own. I spun up a PieFed server, federated with lemmy shitpost, and I can supposedly change members and mods.
The description seems to only apply to my instance, but I still find it weird you can view and "change" members.
On YOUR server you can do whatever you want. You are the admin, so it's logical that you can perform any action whatsoever on your local copy of everything that has been copied there. (If you couldn't through the UI, you certainly could through manual changes in the DB.)
Nothing you do because of this will be successfully federated to anywhere other than your server. That would be a major security issue, after all anyone could maliciously set up a server and make random changes affecting everyone.
Also, if your the admin I would make a normal user for everyday use. If your admin account is compromised, you would loose access to your instance
What? That really doesn't make much sense, the admin has direct access to the server and reset the password of any account, including their own admin account and any alternate account they use.
I have 2 accounts on my instance, this account and the admin.
I use this account as my daily driver and get an email if there is a sign up request
You seem to be logged in as the admin so thats probably why. Pretty sure piefed is designed that way.
That's odd. Also pixelfed lets you ban users who don't even use your site too, which is even weirder.
Why would that be weird? I assume that's about banning federated posts from them, which makes perfect sense imo.
Maybe settings to delete stuff you don't want, or ban whatever federated stuff, but transferring ownership settings is a bit odd to me. Lemmy is a bit more clear on what you can truly do. You can block communities, delete posts, purge, ban, whatever. It does not allow you to edit communities directly unlike PieFed which is kinda interesting.
Oh dont take me at my word though. Staff have accounts on @piefed.social if you want someone with actual knowledge and not from someone who has been to the codeberg once.
A man tends to make his own hell.
Yea there is a weird "de-sync" issue with appointing a mod [User B] from lemmy to community created by piefed then the mod can ban the original community creator [User A] but that only applies to User B's instance, so now anyone on User B's instance sees a different version of the community compared to everyone else. And anything User A does from that point will never federate to User B's instance's version of the same community. So you'd need to end up contacting the admins to intervene to resolve this "power struggle".
Was hoping a raspberry pi would suffice for just my use, but it looks like I’m gonna need a better machine.
Python goes brrr... 🫠
omfg the email field is REQUIRED if I wanna update the front page
