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.

Start with physical location https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/map
then ping/test the ones you like closest to you.
Yea ended up choosing a pretty popular one near me, hopefully they don’t shut down or something though. Thanks!
always a risk. keep an eye out for migration tools.
What migration tools?
lots of people asking for them, keep asking, likely to get built, the APIs are open after all.
think of this system more like IPFS, your content is going to be your responsibility if you want it to endure
This is awesome, found a tiny instance near me and it's the fastest one I've used yet
small instances are the best, remember it will take some time before new subscriptions start flowing into the server esp if you are the first person to sub to a remote community.
Yeah I'm still trying to figure that stuff out. I can find my username from lemm.ee but not the community that I made there. Same with kbin, I can find my lemm.ee user but can't find the community for the life of me.
step one, make sure you are searching for the community with the right format
!@
you might need to try a couple times and wait a min, its slow with no ui indicator that its still working
if that fails, get a link to a post from the community (be sure to use the community's home instance) and search for that. Once again it may take a few attempts and some waiting. If it fails, just try again tmw, sync things.
Thank you! This is helpful. I finally found it and got it to load all the posts.
Thanks so much for this. I've been pulling my hair out trying to figure out which instance is actually near me. Join-lemmy instance descriptions really should include servers' general locations.
This is amazing! Thank you!
It's weird. My instance is hosted on a VPS in New Jersey, but shows here in Mexico. The company I rent the server from doesn't have a data center in Mexico
they providing any edge caching for you?
Not as far as I can tell. It's a pretty barebones VPS from IONOS
somehow this is dns's fault
