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.

https://startrek.website/ has a few communities, but they're all on theme.

[–] deweydecibel 16 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It's also basically the /r/startrek community. One of the earliest to migrate, and migrate wholesale.

Course I'm not sure how smart each topic having its own instance is going to be. Feels like that just means the mods you knew from Reddit are now admins of their own neighborhood, answerable to no one, and that could be a good thing...but I can see a lot of ways that creates issues in the future.

[–] TheSpookiestUser 7 points 1 year ago

Bias is I was a mod, but I figure the people both technically literate enough to host an instance and that actually did leave reddit when push came to shove are the good ones, generally. Most of the shitty mods haven't left precisely because it would mean giving up what little power they have.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

It is a new way communities can work. Before, it was always an outside entity that ran admin. Now, it can be community led instead.

Of course, what that actually means and the drama that can come from that is unique to Lemmy.

exploding-heads.com

They have a bunch of communities and users, but they are all incel/transphobia themed. They have communities like [email protected] (andrew tate rhetoric) and [email protected] (transphobia). Block them if you value your sanity.

[–] Vub 5 points 1 year ago

Authorities need to monitor this one closely to find future mass shooters. I hope they are on it.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I took a look through exploding-heads and lemmygrad recently, just to see what they were like for myself. Lemmygrad was about what I was expecting. EH on the other hand was just kind of... sad? Pathetic? The one admin begging people to participate more was particularly so.

Is it possible to subscribe to this, or do I need to make an account there to view it in the Memmy app?

[–] miles 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

yes, you can subscribe to any community that has been federated. search communities "all" or just go to [email protected]

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not sure I understand the question, but you should be able to subscribe to their communities (such as !moviesandtv) from wherever you are posting from. :)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected]

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

https://mander.xyz/ comes to mind. It's not exactly a single subreddit but it has a strong focus on nature-related stuff.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

lemmit.online is an instance that is entirely made up of reddit cross-posts. It has one account, a bot, that copies every post made to any subreddits on its list so you can see the content without going to reddit.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Lemdro.id seems to be all about android stuff.

Cool! I just subscribed to synthwave. :)

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Wayfarershaven.eu is focused on creating a space for inspiration, creativity, handwork, reading, learning, travel, etc. So we have everything from [email protected] to [email protected] to [email protected] to [email protected].

pathfinder.social is oriented around the Paizo ttrpg

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

lemmy.film is centered around... discussion of film, whether it is about viewing them, creating them, and everything in between.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

lemmy.az.social is just Arizona stuff.

[–] Epicurus0319 1 points 1 year ago

There are some with very specific purposes/nationalities (like lemmynsfw, lemmy.ca, and one Portuguese-only one for people from Portugal) that somewhat resemble the porn subs and the country-themed subreddits like r/canada and r/suddenlycaralho respectively.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

alongside the others mentioned here, lemdro.id exists for Android-related stuff and lemmyrs.org exists for Rust stuff (but seems to be running an old version of Lemmy, so YMMV)
