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 personally use https://lemmy.world/communities for communities on this instance and https://browse.feddit.de/ for communities across instances
Yep. Don't forget you're not limited to lemmy instances.
I'm on Kbin and follow this lemmy community from there. Commenting/reading with my kbin account and on kbin's site. But like I don't have to limit myself to kbin, you don't have to limit yourself to lemmy.
Which takes some getting used to. Hell, apparently you can access lemmy through mastodon(the fediverse twitter alternative). Apparently that sucks, but it is possible. Kbin -> Lemmy works great though.
Caveat: both lemmy and kbin are still in beta/alpha. So bugs are still being fixed as we speak. Unlike reddit it's taking the people running these instances weeks not decades to fix though.
TLDR: it all takes some getting used to, there's still work to be done, but it's already better than reddit in many ways.
Yeah, I think it's ideal that we use multiple types of software (not just multiple instances of the same software). IMO it's good to have multiple "competitors" (really they're more collaborators than competitors) because it drives innovation, gives more options, and while forking is always an option, it can be hard to get the ball rolling on actually using some fork.
Personally, I think the kbin dev is really great and started on kbin largely because of that. But right now, Lemmy has more features, fewer bugs, and much better mobile support, so I'm largely shifting to it at least for now (but would probably go back to kbin once/if it has feature parity for the features I care about). I also like how kbin has support for subscribing to or blocking entire domains as well as Mastodon style "micro blog" support (which it calls posts -- I hope that gets renamed cause it's confusing). But Lemmy has mobile support and collapsible comments.
