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.

As far as I've seen FAQs is should be so but my test comment doesn't appear on the host server, just on lemmy.world. Is this a sync issue, or a weird feature?

Yes, it's supposed to be visible on every instance that's federated with your own. It can sometimes take some time to sync between servers though, and I'd expect it to stay like that for a while. There will likely be improvements to the process once everyone's sorted out the recent surge of new users.

I have a similar situation right now, with an entire community.

A while ago, I made /c/breath_of_the_wild and I've been creating a post almost every day. Those posts do show up on kbin.social so THAT one synced already, but even tho the community itself also exists on lemmy.ml there isn't a single visible post yet.

I've been told that it will eventually sync on its own, but no idea how long it will take. I guess the Fediverse is a bit overwhelmed right now, with all of the ex-redditors suddenly joining.

It should be seen by other instances if they are federated (they have link between each other). There could be an issue with syncing I guess or the instance you commented on got defederated.

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

I believe it will show up on the ones that your home server isn't defederated with

Some details - I found a great server with fantastic content (terefere.eu), I can see posts, but my comment made with a lemmy.world user appears only on lemmy.world

No, every single federated server has to subscribe. They start out with empty databases and only get new incoming content when users start to subscribe, community by community.

Only now is there a tool to bulk-subscribe, lemmy-helper, intended for server operators. And frankly, Lemmy federation is not scaling well, too much overhead and lack of code maturity.
