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.

MODERATORS
 

AFAIK they aren't there yet right? Should the developers of lemmy do it or should it be up to the instances to decide whether to do it or how to implement them?

I think someone will add it to base Lemmy eventually, but I doubt it's high priority. Might be a while.

[–] TrickyCamel 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I think they will very useful if and when the user base of the bigger instances become big enough, I don't know how fast we will get there though.

It would be good to settle in for the long haul. Like reddit, things will change over a span of years. And lemmy doesn't necessarily need to copy everything about reddit, or restrict itself only things reddit already did. And some parts of reddit, I hope never make it into lemmy.

It's possible to hashtag Lemmy posts. That might be a good stop-gap

[–] V4uban 1 points 1 year ago

Is it? How do you do it, just add a hashtag in the body?

[–] AFKBRBChocolate 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't have anything specifically against flairs, but I wish people would get away from the idea that Lemmy needs to copy every aspect of Reddit.

[–] ilickfrogs 3 points 1 year ago

I agree. Although I'd prefer to see a return of user flairs over content flairs.

[–] rr7 6 points 1 year ago

I survive without flairs, karma and awards

[–] jerrimu 2 points 1 year ago

We could just tag them also

I see the devs aren't too fond of the idea.

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

I don't think it's something Dessalines or Nutomic are very interested in dedicating a lot of time to. They do accept bounties though (see here and here), but I don't know how high the bounty has to be for someone else to actually notice.

What are those flairs?
