!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.

Is this a Lemmy thing? Something with lemmy.ca? Something about Voyager?
I tried looking it up but found nothing that might explain this. I have a community that’s super niche and I don’t post there much, but I do on occasion. I don’t care that it’s not that active – it’s enough for me.
Over the past couple of days, I’ve had a tiny amount of interaction, and everyone who posts seems to be automatically flagged as a mod. What’s happening?
e: this is what I see:
You are the only moderator of both communities you moderate, so it sounds like a display bug
Awesome, thanks for letting me know you don’t see everyone as mods. That helps me.
Just so you know, I’m a fellow Voyager user on lemmy.ca and I don’t see that anywhere I’m not a mod.
This one? https://lemmy.ca/c/timetravellerguide
I loaded it, and I'm only seeing you as a mod (no one else in the comments has the badge).
Are you using the default interface or another app? Maybe clear cache/cookies and see if that fixes it?
Yes, that one. Here’s what i see:
I’m using Voyager on iOS.
And I don’t see those flags on posts outside my community, anywhere on Lemmy.
e: if you’re not seeing it, it’s likely a bug in Voyager. Thanks for letting me know! I’ll post in in the Voyager community. <3
That shield symbol just means that YOU are a mod in that community and can take mod actions on those comments.
Wait, really?
That’s terrible design. I know I’m a mod and can take action. That’s the point of being a mod. Flagging all comments is superfluous and misleading.
I thought something was wrong with my community.
e: Instead of a shield (which to me means ‘fellow mod’) I’d colour the edit ellipsis green or something. This makes me think the commenter is a mod.
I was initially confused by it too, but got used to it. I think the moderator functions ought to be accessed by an icon separate from the edit ellipsis, but I agree that it shouldn't be a green shield like that.
Ha, I can definitely see how that could be visual clutter. You should also see it for posts when scrolling through the community.
I help mod a handful of communities, and I suppose it helps sometimes when I'm navigating into random threads from my inbox - just as a reminder.
That's definitely weird. At least it seems like it's just a UI glitch on that end and hasn't empowered everyone who interacts with mod abilities lol.
Maybe check with the voyager community? Seems like a bug or something is out of sync. I'm not familiar enough with it to offer much more than that, unfortunately.
It helps to know it’s only on my end, thanks! I was worried anyone could mod my community. Thanks for your input! I’ll put it in as a UI bug. Cheers!
Have you checked to make sure that the universe is not a hyper realistic simulation and you are every person in it?
Yep. And this bug exists in both scenarios.
