!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.

I deleted my reddit apps and decided to not use it anymore, so yeah, I am only on Lemmy now using it on desktop and on phone I use jerboa for lemmy
Same. Deleted accounts, uninstalled app, installed Jerboa, and replaced the bookmark with my instance.
Same, while I do feel Lemmy and Jerboa need some work, I feel like they are enough there already to make it work. In a lot of ways it feels better than reddit, idk why
For me, it’s the community. I’ve only had pleasant exchanges around here, everyone seems approchable, when on Reddit it’s quite hit-and-miss.
I deleted the Reddit app from my phone just to avoid opening it out of force of habit, and I thought it’s take some self-convincing to stay on Lemmy; but the reality is, 2 weeks in, I don’t miss Reddit at all in the end. I was mostly using it for scrolling through interesting content I’m subscribed to, and so far Lemmy does this just as well.
Yeah, same. I’m on VLemmy and just use the web app on my iPhone. Works quite well!
But yeah no more Reddit and I couldn’t be happier. There’s of course not as much content. But I’m having a great time using Mastodon and Lemmy to fill my content craving. Finding myself checking out the Apple News app more as well.
I’m content but excited to see the growth of my Fediverse favorites.
Shoutout to mas.to and my boy @[email protected] 🙌
I’ve been checking out Apple News more than before too! It’s been nice, quality content.
I tried Mastodon when Elon started plastering Twitter’s walls with fecal matter (!!), but it didn’t catch my interest much; but it had been years already at that point that I had been gradually disinterested in Twitter, and I think that’s probably why. I didn’t feel there was anything wrong with Mastodon, it just wasn’t my thing.
But I was addicted to Reddit as heck, and it’s nuts how easy it’s been to move on from it!
I still pop onto reddit here and there to catch any news I may have missed on Lemmy, as it seems the news communities aren't as active here yet. But I don't interact and usually only scroll through quickly. Hoping that as alternatives gain traction that I won't ever have to go back.
Same here. I didn't delete my history and account but for now I am happy here. For me Lemmy reached the critical mass already and as a result I don't miss Reddit one bit.
Yeah it felt like activity quickly picked up here and I don't miss reddit, I miss some communities a bit but I am sure they will move here with time. I also feel with things like this just going cold turkey is the most effective way to not miss it (at least for me)
Same here. Deleted my Reddit up and I am switching between the Memmy and Mlem apps on ios with Testflight. I am enjoying the smaller communities since it feels safer to participate than it ever did on Reddit. 
Same. I deleted all my Reddit apps and have not visited Reddit on purpose since. I have done a few google searches for something and clicked the top link out of habit which took me to a Reddit post but I noped out as fast as I could. Trying to be a bit more cautious now.
Yeah, I’ve not done the deletion thing yet, but willpower alone is powering me through 😀
