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 currently switching between Liftoff, Thunder, and Jerboa, altho Jerboa refuses to let me sign in, 'cause server version BS.

Liftoff has a nice UI IMO, and I like Thunder's navigation, so I'll prolly end up using one of the 2. Notably, Liftoff is more feature-complete than Thunder, so... Depends on what you want I guess.

Well that got out of hand quickly.

Have a nice day!

Liftoff for some reason won't let me upvote posts from other instances. Very odd because it tells me I would literally need to make an account on every instance to upvote posts.

I had this issue until I manually selected my logged-in instance from the dropdown list at the top of the main screen.

Yep, this is the secret :-) We are still working on how we make the whole multi-account thing more understandable and usable.

Thank you kind stranger. This is amazing.

Same hear, it seems that every app has a fair share of bugs, and the only way to determine which is best for you is to test them and see what you can live with.

Also for @[email protected]

In the Settings -> General page there is a 'Show EVERYTHING feed' toggle which could explain why you're getting that problem. That gives an option in the drop down at the top of the main feed page to view All from Everything which means it combines the All feeds from each instance you have in Accounts in the Settings (by default it has a few of the big instances added I think). It's basically like you're going to each site beehaw.org, lemmy.world, lemmy.ml, etc. even if you don't an account there.

To avoid running into the issue of not being able to upvote you can remove the instances you don't have accounts on, or just not use the Everything feed (turn it off, or select the instance you want to view from in the drop-down). And in case it's not clear, if you view All from just your one instance you'll still see posts from everywhere else but you are seeing it from the place you have an account so you'll be able to upvote/comment.

Hmm, haven't run into that yet. Noted.
