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.

It currently feels like a big discord where we might actually get to know the names of some people we interact with - in 12 years on Reddit I don't think I ever remembered a particular person besides maybe a couple hyper posting mods.
That was the joy of forums back in the day.
If lemmy makes the icons a bit bigger it'll really be a throwback. It's easier to remember icons than it is names.
Maybe it's because I was on RIF that I didn't make these icon connections
That said it's going to be like 10000 active users vs reddits millions so people will bump into each other more often.
Also man how disheartening was it when you had a good response to a good AskReddit but you were reply number 75,000 and you knew no one would ever see it?
And yes I think a lot of the reddit refugees might be people were tired of all different kinds of things on reddit. It's too big and then oddly not busy enough? If you comment on a big thread odds are no one will even read it, but if you post in a small sub it may be days before anyone responds.
I literally just came across your post on Hot and thought hey I recognize that name so maybe names will work.
Not me. I think even on Lemmy, my neurodivergent brain will have forgotten your name by the time I'm done writing this comment. Farewell, @mayo@lemmy.world: every one of the five seconds I knew you was a goddamn honor.
I'm excited for us all to be real people again
Oh yeah, avatars. That's what's missing from Voyager. Man, I want those.
I don't see how Lemmy is any different than Reddit in this situation though. Is it simply hecause it is smaller that you think people will get to know each other more?
I have fond memories of being part of a car forum years back and actually meeting some of the guys from that community. We had garage days where we'd meet up at one of the people's houses amd work on our cars there. We'd have a c4uise night and then hit up a local restaurant. It really helped foster a community spirit.
That was an impossibility on Reddit.
I unfortunately don't think that would be feasible on Lemmy either.
You're probably right but I'm banking on instances providing a more neighbourly experience since Local is still mainly for the people who have accounts with that instance.
Just #fuckswithducks and #shittymorph for me
