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.

How is a fediverse user supposed to find communities? I can’t find a way to search across the fediverse, which pretty much kills the concept IMO. I was browsing All via Lemmy.world - Mlem - iOS and my feed is half anime porn, with some pictures depicting underage and others not blurred as NSFW.

Am I going about the fediverse all wrong? How do y’all deal with this? Right now the fediverse seems like a glitchy, overcomplicated 4chan.

You could disable NSFW in your profile or use a service like lemmyverse.net to find communities to subscribe to.

Is nsfw specifically for porn or is it like Reddit where it was used for anything anyone might find offensive or inappropriate anywhere? I hesitate to block all nsfw content on the fediverse for fear of missing legitimate content.

[–] b0thvar 22 points 1 year ago (2 children)

From what I've seen NSFW tags are implemented similarly to reddit, however from browsing all and not having NSFW blocked the majority of the posts are porn/nudity.

I've been blocking NSFW communities that I don't want to see while browsing all which has been working fairly well.

I like how the app Jerboa can handle NSFW, I have it set to show the post, but blur the image, which makes it easier to decide if it is something I want to look at or not.

It would be nice if we could have a tag specifically for nudity and/or porn.

[–] WiseBeginning 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There were a few times on r/stablediffusion where I clicked on something nsfw expecting nudity or something, and was instead greeted by extremely gory eldritch abominations.

Having separate tags for boobs vs nsfl would indeed be nice

[–] Xylinna 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Like a subcategory for NSFW - nudity, extreme violence, porn, death (aka NSFL), etc.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Preferable all of the above. It's not because I'm looking at anime boobs that I want to find myself looking at something like goro (if you don't know what that is already, you probably won't want to look it up).

[–] Xylinna 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

So... my curiosity got the best of me and I googled "goro" and it pulled up Mortal Kombat and I feel like I might have dodge a bullet thanks to the recent game release and opted to not dig any further. Also, anyone remember the heyday of r/spacedicks?

[–] warmwhisky 2 points 1 year ago

Damn straight I remember spacedicks. Who was the lord of spacedicks? The guy from Prince of Bellaire. And you had to comment in caps the word FAGGOT. Crazy subreddit

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

You absolutely dodged a bullet. It's one of those things I suggest people never find out about. Only reason I know about it is because of a certain good hentai site (good for quantity) with bad filters (see: none) and I didn't realise until it was too late.

Never heard of r/spacedicks but with the context of how you brought it up, I don't think I want to know 😂

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I guess my instance doesn't federate because browsing all I don't see anything nsfw. NSFW is on though.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Yes, you're right. I personally leave NSFW toggled on and go ahead to manually block every single community I don't want to see.

[–] Doxix 2 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Think this is what i’m looking for… how are you blocking communities? thanks!

[–] Today 4 points 1 year ago

I'm using Jerboa and it has a button to block the community.

[–] TheAmishMan 4 points 1 year ago

It depends on the client your using, but most the time you need to fill to the communities page then block it there

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Visit the community on the web interface and click on the red button:

Most mobile clients work the same. There's usually a context menu within the community that you can pop up and where you'll find that option.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Doesn't help when some twat doesn't mark it nsfw.
