No Stupid Questions
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.

Hm, it would try to find a user, because communities are internally "users" that boost all the posts/comments they receive. ActivityPub isn't as interoperable as it ideally would be, with all the hasty extensions, quirks of particular implementations, and with Lemmy being comparatively new it may make sense for you to open up an issue on the PixelFed GitHub, maybe they'll look into it for you.
I know that people have been able to do the @ thing from Mastodon. So it may be some incompatibility between PF and Lemmy. The people who actually implemented them would know the details on why it's not working.
The bigger a server the costlier it is to run. That's true with every service. Most admins rely on donations on top of paying out of pocket, so as long as the small instance you're on is tight knit enough that the few people there will occasionally chip in, shutting down won't be too much of a concern.
As long as even 1 person from "a big one" follows you, your posts end up there, will be indexed by hashtags or what have you. So start following people and get followed back and eventually discoverability will sorta happen.
If there is a warhammer specific a.gup.pe group, consider @ing that as well, since the way it works (boosting all the content it receives to all it's followers) it will have the same effect.
OK so this is why I saw it as an user, for a while I was worried I have created a Pixelfed account for the community hehe. I was surprised to find nothing about these things on the Internet, so maybe indeed I should reach out to devs.
Food for thought! This is a reasonable argument, I'll need to reconsider and learn how to migrate things between instances. But I leave this for later, one functionality at a time.
