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 looks like your post doesn't have any tags that I can see by calling from API. The two current replies I see to your post have a tag of type "mention" for you because they are responses to you. After I post this, I'll see what tags this one includes (as I am on kbin so it may work differently).

On kbin, I have found that posts to a magazine automatically include a tag of type "hashtag" of the name of that magazine, so it's an interesting difference between the two applications.

Finally, on Mastodon, hashtags do create tags of type "hashtag" in a post, which is sensible and uninteresting.

This post to you has also included a tag of type "mention" but no extra tag of type "hashtag". So, there you go.

How would they work? If you click on them in the title, would it open the post or the hashtag?

[–] JakoJakoJako13@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ideally it would be a discoverability tool for Lemmy's side to broadcast to the whole fediverse. So if you post a title like "Hey #nfl fans. !nfl@lemmy.world is hosting an #ama with @tombrady@tb12.7rings at 2pm EST." The hashtags show up on Mastodon. The !nfl@lemmy.world would take you to the sub. Or if you wanna see just Tom Brady's answers you can click his name and find his answers. From our side on Lemmy we have the thread structure down. So that's all you have to do is title that and put whatever you want in the body. From Mastodon's perspective they could turn their content warning system into titles. So that title would be the content warning. When you click on it, it opens the body of the post, including all comments and replies. That way you have discoverability. You have a way to interact with the post from anywhere. You complete the triad of person, place, and thing so everybody has full context of what's going on. Lemmy users would get full functionality of Mastodon in Lemmy fashion and vice versa.

While it probably would help people on Mastodon find content in some circumstances I'm not sure it is necessarily a good idea. They can already follow sublemmies, communities so that is an organising principle. It might be a case of trying to do too much and confusing people. Exactly what conventions will be used by people posting from Mastodon into the lemmyverse and vice versa are not yet clear so maybe deliberately using conventions from one platform on the other will develop. Will be interesting to see how things play out.

By the way when viewed on Mastodon this hashtag is clickable unlike some hyperlinks posted from lemmy; it is not showing up in search though(on https://masto.ai)

Doesn't look like it. It would be nice if the did in the body
