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's most likely because you created an account on lemmy.world, which is currently overwhelmed by new users. You can try registering on another instance (they all have access to the same communities, I'm for example replying from a different instance than lemmy.world to your post on lemmy.world).
You can try checking for some instance here: https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/list
Awesome, thanks.
Do you also know how to get notifications that someone has replied to your post or comment? Ive been having to check manually...
Notifications don't work on Connect for me, but they do on other apps, like jerboa. All the mobile apps seem to be on beta stage, they all have quirks to get ironed out, try a few and see what suits you. Better apps (namely boost and sync) are imminent.
You can manually check notifications on Connect by opening the menu and selecting inbox.
I think it worked out of the box on Jerboa for me? Haven't tried Connect. But it should work, if it doesn't, it's probably the app's problem, not Lemmy in general.
I’m having issues with liftoff for iPhone. I think we just have to wait until everything settles down a little.
Try a second account with a less popular server. Hit all. Same feed. Less or zero lag.

I was using liftoff with a lemmy.world account and it was terrible. lots of (badly handled) errors, but all the errors came from the app talking to lemmy.world. So I signed up at a smaller, more local instance (find yours at https://the-federation.info/platform/73), and now it's a mostly fast and error free experience. Lemmy has totally exploded after reddit's suicide, growing from 140K to over 2M users in just a few days.
Or you can switch instances.
As someone else pointed put, Connect just had an update. I was getting errors all morning and went to check, sure enough an update was available. Cured all my issues 😃
I'm gonna be very frank with you, all the current Lemmy apps are below average to say the least. I'd wait for Boost and Sync to show up, maybe then things will get somewhat better.
True, I'm trying Jerboa and Connect but they are subpar... I created PWA on my phone and it's perfectly usable without a dedicated app.

That's probably the best alternative for now, I just wish I could hide the PWA icons on the app drawer though...
You're not wrong, but jerboa is already milea ahead to where it was a week ago. So many things are getting fixed it's already starting to feel useable.
I think it's a server issue (because of the influx of folks like us) more than the apps, which are just dumb clients for the API.
That said, you need get yourself on wefwef.app because it's the most polished one I've seen.
Where do i get it? It's not on the play store
https://wefwef.app. It's a progressive web app so your browser will let you install like a normal phone app. Even worked on my Linux desktop.
