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.

The only reason I logged into Reddit at all in the last 12 days was to request my data. Unless something drastic changes, I don't think I'll go back to Reddit at all. It was the only social media platform I still used.
I was on Reddit through all the bad times and I think they finally had a really good user base of people who actually cared about the platform. It was inevitable that it was going to all fall apart though. That's just how capitalism works. They try to wring blood out of stone until they squeeze so hard that they crush the stone.
Can I ask what's the value in asking for your data? And how do you go about doing it?
I plan on going back and spoiling my comments but I am petty and would also love to do anything I can to make them pay someone to work more. (I do this every time I get mad about a stupid fee too - I call and make someone getting paid $10/hr explain why that fee exists... Until their time has paid the fee. Politely of course! Not to harass the employees but to make the company spend more money collecting the fee than the fee was worth.)
I provide a lot of advice on Reddit for people and I want to preserve some of those answers if people ask those questions here. They will supposedly give me a CSV file that I can download. There are some other unofficial options but it seems like they involve downloading an SQLite database.
As much as I am fine with Reddit crashing and burning, I know it’s an incredible resource for advice and single handedly stops people from doing regrettable things every day. It will be a while before we have the same thing here.

As a gamer, there's a lot of good tips sitting on there. I was just looking up info for the Final Fantasy V mode FF5FJF. Most of the results gave Reddit, and the FF5FJF sub is locked. It was one of those small impactful moments.
