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 think the idea of assigning a language to a post is great. However, I always use the english language. I'd like to know if there's a way to automatically tag all my posts as english, instead of manually selecting it.

Some communities seem to default to english even I don't set anything but unfortunately others do not.

I had a userscript that had this feature built in, alongside enabling ⌘+Enter posting on MacOS, but then my pull request that fixed that in lemmy itself got merged, and I haven't gotten around to just separating the functionality.

I'll probably do that tomorrow and edit this post with the link.


Edit: here's the userscript. You're going to want to disable the fastPost configuration option if you're on a new enough lemmy instance, and you'll also want to set the language to whatever your home instance has the language you want in. The readme in the repo has instructions on how to do it.

i just default to none and it works, actually.

It depends on the community. Some default to english, some do not.

The closest I've gotten is removing every language except for English and Undetermined which removes it from all the dropdowns. Presuming you're not the owner of lemmy.world, I do not believe there is a way to achieve even that stopgap.

[–] pathief 3 points 1 year ago

I've done the same, but it's still anoying to select it every time.
