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.

That is exactly how it was on reddit.
No it wasn't not like this you know what i mean
But it was. It's literally the exact same hierarchy of roles. So no, I don't know what you mean.
Well does every community on reddit come under different admin rules like on lemmy ? Does reddit have a problem where if you don't agree with instance admins beliefs or actions you can get banned ?
Every server is under the total control of it's admin while moderators are self-assigned to communities by the users that created them. It's literally the exact same structure as on reddit.
The only difference is that there only is a single reddit server with a single set of admins, while lemmy has many instances.
So yes, everything you mentioned is basically the same on both platforms. The only difference on lemmy being that when you piss off the admins and get banned you can go to another instance.
Nah i mean the reddit admins follow a standard rule structure because they are corporate workers and does'nt insert themselves it is like moderation on any sites but in the fediverse its different.
Lemmy admins create rule structures for the same reason Reddit admins do, they are doing high level curation of the communities they want.
You're right in that there isn't the firewall between moderators and admins on Lemmy that there was on Reddit, but that was a choice that Reddit admins made, not a design difference between the two services.
No reddit admins can't push their agenda because they were employees here that is not the case and i am not saying that is a bad thing
A lot of people left reddit because of the way admins were inserting themselves into communities. There is a different dynamic here.
