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.

In particular, I can't seem to see posts in the (local?) ELI5 community: https://lemmy.world/c/explainlikeimfive while I'm logged in?

Do you perhaps use Top Daily as your sorting? If there are no top posts today (no-one has voted), there's no posts that can be shown. I can see the posts just fine, but if I change to Top Daily, there's nothing. Newest post to that community was made three days ago.

It's a good thought, but even this: https://lemmy.world/c/explainlikeimfive/data_type/Post/sort/TopYear/page/1 (which I think is showing Top Year?) shows no posts.

I have the same problem in several communities including the one you linked. I also have the issue of only being able to see the first page of posts in some communities, but clicking on the Next button yields no posts on the next page when I know there are more posts.

I get the same thing, but had assumed they were separate issues! All very weird. Does the issue go away for you when you log out?

[–] Jilanico@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Here's another weird example. I can only see 2 posts on this community even though the sidebar says there are lots more posts: https://lemmy.world/c/starwarsmemes

If I flip the toggle to view only comments, I'm able to see comments on posts that are not visible to me. If I click on the link icon of the comment, it'll take me to that hidden post and I can see it. But it still won't display in the community's list of posts.

Are you having that issue?

Also in this "hidden" post I see only 11 out of the 26 comments: https://lemmy.world/post/448385

[–] Artisian@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

yep! this too.

No. Karma is a fake metric and can adversely effect others perception of a current comment. Comments should be judged on their own merit. One can have differing opinions or views that may be viewed as negative; however positively contribute to an active discussion with a agreed view.
