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.

Probably more stupid than most questions here, but Lemmy seems to have a learning curve. I'm using Connect to access the fediverse.

I've tried using the upload icon (next to the URL field) to upload a photo from my phone, but it remains blank after I try to select a photo.

Do I need to use an external hosting service like imgur? That method has always been clunky to the point that I just never used it in the earlier days of reddit.

If the upload is not working, try to change the file name to something shorter. I've had issues with long file names breaking the upload function. Name the file simply 1.jpg and it should work. Upload doesn't support HEIC files (I tried it), so make sure it's in a standard format, jpg/jpeg.

Edit: Oh you are using an app. Apps are still very early stage and buggy so I recommend using a browser until the apps are more stable. I can upload images just fine other than occasionally having to do 2 attempts to get it working.

I submitted a couple posts with pictures using the Jerboa app, which is pretty easy because there is a picture icon to upload and attach to a post, but my last few pictures come up sideways and I'm not sure how to fix that.

Good one, interested in the answer. I already found a way to include one from a webserver. !(a text)[url of image].

2nding the question, been trying to upload from within the liftoff app, but when clicking the image icon and selecting the icon, it "loads" for a second but then nothing happens.

Make sure the image weights less than the maximum allowed by your instance which is 1MB but default.
