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.

Yeah I really don't know what instance to go for.
Lemmy.world sounds least political but it's not stable. Apparently beehaw is now also defederated from .world so immediately we're missing some huge communities that are now going to be split across two instances that don't work together.
So now I'll need multiple accounts to use multiple instances of the same thing. This sort of defeats the whole purpose of a connected system. It could just as wel create worse echo chambers than we have on traditional socia media.
If you’re not ready to make your own instance, can use an under-the-radar instance like ours at Lemmy.pro and you’ll avoid the issue
you can subscribe across instances, and just get all of the communities that you're interested in on the instance you join.
when you browse a community on another instance, there is a message that tells you how to subscribe.
Beehaw defederating from the biggest instances is why I ultimately made an account over here but it's honestly not a good sign that the fediverse is already imploding. Most of us left reddit to get away from idiots on a power-trip trying to control how we talk to each other and it took about eleven seconds for it to get just as bad over here.
Growing pains. It's been a week, for most of us...
If beehaw wants to be a secluded small community they're free to do that. There will be replacement communities.
You'll only need one account if you run your own instance (as long as it's not blocked from both servers).
Fair point. I'll have to see if I can host one on a raspberry pi maybe
You should be able to do it pretty easily. There are docker images for ARM64 in Lemmy docker repository so you can run it on pi4. If you have older pi, you'll probably have to build it from source though.
