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.

Liftoff is awesome (after cycling through quite a few)!
I second this, from liftoff
I'm back on the web portal. Both Liftoff and Jerboa keep saying I'm not signed in, so I can't make posts or comments.
Liftoff back in business
Boost for Reddit is coming out for Lemmy soon. You can pre-register. Same with Sync.
Yo, anyone happens to know how to make Infinity For Everything work with Lemmy? Like, I know I need to point it to lemmy (dunno if website or API) but I don't know how
Alternating between liftoff and wefwef
Memmy is great. Voyager / Wefwef is my second choice. I still have to use the baseline web interface for some things, including moderating. So it’s still coming together.
But I echo your sentiments. Fuck Reddit’s bullshit.
For anyone on iOS mlem is working great for me. Still in a limited testing but I believe they’re ready to release on the App Store soon.
They are all quite good, the clients. :) And now I have to try Voyager I guess...have to know what it looks like!
It’s very similar to Apollo
https://github.com/thunder-app/thunder for Android and iOS
Is it true that if you download from the GitHub you won't automatically get updates? Does the app update itself internally?
I've heard so much praise for Thunder but I don't see it in the Google play store or f-droid, and I don't trust myself to keep it up to date manually.
Thunder, Liftoff and the PWA, since it's the least buggy. But it's the most ugly.
I'm a fan of Connect. It goes a good job with the material you design language. Once the Sync for Lemmy is released, I'll bounce over to that app. Overall, I've been very pleased with Lemmy. It doesn't have the volume of content to the more niche fringes, but it scratches the itch all the same, and I don't have to feel as gross doing it.
Memmy for iOS (already on the app store)
If you’re on iOS, checkout Memmy in the App Store, or Mlem in a couple days.
Or goto https://m.lemmy.world/ and use the Voyager web app clone of Apollo.
I'm really digging Liftoff on Android. Simple and painless.
You have a lot of good suggestions here already. My contribution will be like an upvote, sharing my impressions of the apps I've tried so far.
Both vger.app and thunder are very cool, easy to navigate, simple.
With Liftoff you have more control over the UI. It looks good and it's very fluid.
All are very usable. All contribute to the lemmy experience, making it more fun to use and interact.
Good luck on your lemmy journey.
