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.

Hi! I'm trying to add a Kbin community to my account here on Lemmy, and nothing seems to work. I've tried pasting in the https URL and the Kbin URL, but nothing comes up in Lemmy search.

I'm sure I'm missing something simple. For reference, this is the community: @[email protected]

Thanks!

The url is case-sensitive. Put https://kbin.social/m/Minecraft in your instance's search.

Note: I often find I need to do a search for the URL, wait, then refresh. Then it has either already populated the search, or I can search again and it has the community as a result.

You just put in the community after the url of your instance

say in your case.

https://lemm.ee/c/[email protected]

for your example. Then just hit the subscribe in the top right.

This does not work unless someone was able to query for the community before. You'll just get 404: couldnt_find_community. I have yet to be able to get kbin magazines to work on my instance, along with some lemmy.ml communities (about 50/50 there).

I pasted the url of the kbin magazine into the search bar and waited a few seconds

This wasn't working for me a couple days ago, but this does appear to be working now. Before I'd search and wait for over a minute and nothing, I assumed all these issues are just due to the flood of new users/instances. Good to know it works now. We'll see if the subscription goes through and content shows up though, that's the issue I have with lemmy.ml at the moment.

You have to search for [email protected]

I haven't successfully federated with kbin yet which is a shame.>

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yeah I can’t get it to pull in my instance either. I think it may be their cloudflare config.

I’m not sure. Would love to add kbin instances.

I take that back. I searched the actual url and it worked. You also have to leave the filter set to all

https://kbin.social/m/tech

Another post here suggested searching the URL. This worked correctly. Yay!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

This is what I'm experiencing too. Spent the better part of yesterday (unsuccessfully) trying to figure out why it doesn't work - or only works sporadically for .ml like you found.

Couldn't find anything in the logs other than the fact that kbin&.ml manage to send a web request to my instance under the ^/.well_known subdir. After that...nothing - communities on my instance don't show up on those sites after they sent the req. It's like the communication is dying somewhere in the middle.

This worked for me! Thanks. Based on the other comments, I guess someone had searched for that before.

Looking forward to an easier method, but this is fine for now.
