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.

I have converted to Lemmy fully now. I deleted my reddit favourites and Relay for Reddit, and just replaced them with Lemmy. Now when I subconciously click where reddit used to be, I get Lemmy instead. It's helped a lot.
I'm still struggling with some aspects of Lemmy. I'm on a small instance called "Toast.ooo", and I'd like to subscribe to the starfield community on "Lemmy.zip", but I just can't do it. If I try to search for it, it doesn't appear. If I go direct to Lemmy.zip, I can't log in to my account.
is this an issue with the federation of lemmy? or do you think this is a one-off for you?
i'm still wrapping my head around it a bit. i signed up on lemmy.world and it was seamless, but i honestly don't know the scope of lemmy, how far it goes, or if i should have signed up on a different instance.
editing to add: i found this post and thought it might solve your issue? https://lemmy.world/post/335116
Only need one account and can interact across the fediverse. If there’s a community you like on another instance you can interact with the posts and users there too. An instance is kinda like an email account. We all have our own preferred provider and can send an email to another.
This might help a little too https://fediverse.info/
I'm the same way. A buddy of mine sent me a blog post that was essentially lemmy and federation for dummies. It helped me get started and I'm also on lemmy.world but not sure where to go from here. I'm down to leave reddit though.
This might help in finding a good instance; https://the-federation.info/platform/73
I actually tried four before I landed on one I like. First was a matter of latency, in other words finding one close to me with a good ping, then it was a matter of how well I liked the administration.
https://toast.ooo/c/[email protected] should work, seems to be a problem with the toast.ooo instance.
It works on most instances I try.
You could try DMing the Admin there looks like their name is @grant - or pick a more established server that works better
I’ve discovered that you can search for the URL on (for instance) Lemmy.zip but set the search to “All” instead of just Communities.
Although now that I typed that out, I may have had a problem with Lemmy.zip specifically today, Al maybe it’s a them issue?
