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.

Is there a quick way to see what instances are federated with each other? I know for a while (and maybe still are) beehaw and Lemmy.ml defederated from Lemmy.world. Are they still defederated? Is it worthwhile to post on their communities if those users won’t see it?

Hey, could you maybe change the title to include the question? See rule 1 for more information (:

Theres an instance link at the bottom of the page. If you scroll down you’ll eventually see Blocked Instances.

https://lemmy.world/instances

This shows what world has federated / defederated. For example beehaw is still on this list.

If you go to beehaw and look at their list, you will see what they have defederated from

https://beehaw.org/instances

Holy Toledo! That's a metric shit ton of instances! I was scrolling for days. Go Lemmy!

There's no matrix to show generally who's blocked or linked, some smart web developer might create something like that, but for now you have to look at each instance individually through the Instances link bottom of page.

Unfortunately they made an ill advised change to the instances page in this latest version of Lemmy. Before it presented linked instances on the left and blocked instances on the right. Now it's one giant column separated only by an obscure header. That's making it difficult to to see if an instance is blocked or linked on a page search. I hope they don't leave it like that.

Just popping in to say I don't think lemmy.ml ever defederated from lemmy.world, they just had issues sending info to each other during the really busy weekend due to all the new users. They're definitely federated now, just checked their instance list at the bottom of the page.

I personally blocked the Beehaw communities I used to be in before they defederated because the only people who'd see and be able to interact with my posts and comments would be other lemmy.world users and it would be like a weird little echo chamber.

No idea if Beehaw will federate again, I guess we'll just have to wait and see but there's a lot out there in the mean time. And if you really want to join in Beehaw you can always make an account there.
