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'm trying to stop using Reddit, but it having an app I know about makes it have quite an advantage.

I know there's a few apps out there I can use to browse Lemmy, but I'm not sure about their names and the different features they offer.

I'm the developer of Summit. Unfortunately I don't see anyone mention Summit but I would suggest giving it a try as well.

I think I've been a bit slower to implement certain features compared to the other apps, but the app is heavily focused on scalability and performance. Give it a try just in case you might like it. Play store link: Summit for Lemmy

Unfortunately the app is not open source :(

Is that something you would be open to working towards? Since the growth of Lemmy is attributed to Reddit becoming "closed", I think many users might see it as a dealbreaker or be less inclined to use a closed-source app.

[–] idunnololz 6 points 2 years ago

My feelings towards this might change in the future. However for the time being, my enjoyment of the project hinges on the project being closed source. Ie. open sourcing the project will likely lead to me stepping away from the project. So even if this significantly impacts the number of users, I would still prefer to keep it closed source. I'd rather have a fun side project I made than to create a popular project that I do not contribute to. It is unfortunate but it is what it is.

Tried it. Looks like it has a lot of promise, but I couldn't view any comments on posts. I realize it's early release but that makes it pretty unusable for now.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

The comments are viewable? Just tap on a post?

I'm replying on Connect for Lemmy. I just looked at your app and it's super dope but I've got to say the one thing that throws me off is the button for the link is on the far side from my finger. I also like swiping to reply and vote and nonsense like that and your app doesn't have it.

Take your time however and implement things well and I'll keep it in mind. My favorite app for Reddit was Relay I think I will be looking for an app until I get something similar or exactly the same.

List mode ftw

[–] idunnololz 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Thank you for your feedback! Regarding "button for the link" could you clarify what this is? Are you talking about the link to the community the post was from?

[–] valek879 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Sorry, I didn't see this reply until now. I mean the button for whatever the post is linking to. Pictures, other communities, or external links. I'm right handed and the button is on the left. This makes it a big reach for my thumb to reach across my screen and I'm less likely to click on things or use your app because of it. I know it's a small complaint but it's all about feel, especially when it comes to apps, that's why reddit had so many!

[–] idunnololz 1 points 1 year ago

I have some good news and some bad news. The good news is my last update included a lot of new customizations including changing the direction of the content. See this demo: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/8mIVZflUHhU.

The bad news is I submitted this update ~1.5 days ago to Google Play. The app is still in review. I have no idea what is going on since usually updates are reviewed within 1-4 hours. I hope the update will be available soon. You can take a look at my community at https://lemmy.world/c/summit to see updates about this.

I found Summit about 2 hours ago and love it! Thanks for your hard work.

[–] idunnololz 2 points 2 years ago

Np! I'm glad you like it!

[–] idunnololz 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Unfortunately the app is not open source. :(

[–] Yoz 1 points 2 years ago

Ah that's sad. Won't be using anything thats not open source when it comes to installing it on my device.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

[–] idunnololz 1 points 2 years ago
[–] PixelatedSaturn 4 points 2 years ago

Looks really good! Dont be afraid to shill it :)

[–] Life_inst_bad 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I just came from Reddit to ckeck lemmy out, looks quite promising. I am tring out different apps at the moment but summit looks and feels fast and responsive.

Do you by any cance release it on the F-droid appstore?

[–] idunnololz 1 points 2 years ago

Unfortunately I cannot release this on Fdroid because the app is not open source :(

Didn't find this when I was looking for lemmy apps at google play store. I downloaded it now and it's the first one that actually works on my phone. Thanks.

Installed. Thanks.

EDIT: Damn.. looks awesome! Well done.

[–] idunnololz 2 points 2 years ago
[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I just downloaded it and I like it (thanks Jerboa, you were the first)

[–] GwilliamSP 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Ok... this one is my favorite now, thank you!

[–] wheresyourshoe 2 points 2 years ago

Viewing/commenting from Summit right now! I've only had it a little while, but so far I like it!

[–] Golfnbrew 2 points 2 years ago (3 children)

I like this one, but I don't see where to edit my profile at all. Hopefully it will remember my filter preferences in future releases. Overall, good job!

I am using Summit and I am thrilled about the update to allow us to comment. one suggestion would be to add a button to go down (or up) to the next top comment. I loved that feature in Boost for Reddit.

overall, I am a happy user! thanks!

[–] idunnololz 1 points 2 years ago

Ah, as a long time reddit user, I've always just collapsed the comment to see the next top comment (is it just me?). I can add the feature to add an actual button to do this on the roadmap.
