No Stupid Questions
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.

Great thanks. This shows both who has blocked an instance and who that same instance is blocking.
I want to add that to see who is blocking lemmy.world do you need to type with lowercase. I didn't see the list of "blocked by" when I wrote lemmy with a capital l.
Very helpful, thanks. Now I'm curious as to why they are blocked?

We can't confirm whether or not you're curious. Only you can decide that.
Hahaha, nice catch! 😅
Thank you!
Would you know of something similar for kbin? This only tracks Lemmy instances.
I don't, sorry. I only use Lemmy.
I appreciate your reply - thanks.
I get the idea of federation etc now in terms of the fediverse but when something is defederated does that just mean it’s not integrating with all the others/the one I am currently on?
Like I am on Lemmy.world and for arguments sake I can view posts etc on Lemmy.bullshit cos it’s federated. Then Lemmy.bullshit ends up being full of nutballs and Lemmy.world admins cut ties with them so I can no longer see their stuff from my instance and is now ‘defederated’, is that right?
That's how I have experienced it.
Yes, we only see stuff from lemmy.bullshit to the point where lemmy.world were still in sync. So we can only see lemmy.world users interactions with post from lemmy.bullshit after the defederation. The same goes for them they can't see lemmy.world users interactions either. because what lemmy.world users are interacting with is a copy (of lemmy.bullshits original post) and isn't sending the updates back to lemmy.bullshit and the other way around, the original isn't updating the copy.
Yeah, my understanding is that defederation prevents any incoming communication, so you won't see any posts or comments that come from lemmy.bullshit, however users from lemmy.bullshit will still see all of your comments and posts from lemmy.world unless they choose to defederate you back.
however users from lemmy.bullshit will still see all of your comments and posts from lemmy.world unless they choose to defederate you back
see, but not interact with, is that right? Or can they still reply, but it'll only show up on their end (and for whoever they're still federated with)?
Yeah, they can vote and reply and all of that and others who remain federated will see their interactions, but you or any other server who defederates them won't.
Good to know, thanks!
I want to check the same for kbin.social
How does it go there?
kbin.social/instances yields no result and fed checker app tells me I'm not on a lemmy instance
I asked this same question on [email protected] but didn't got much attention https://lemmy.world/post/1149974
