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. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

I’ve seen a piefed user’s posts show up in my mastodon feed. Near as I can tell, after asking them, it wasn’t intentional on their part, but they used a hashtag in their piefed post that I was subscribed to on mastodon and that was what caused it to get pulled in.
It was especially confusing at first because neither my mastodon client nor my Lemmy/piefed client displayed the hashtag.
I don’t think this answered your question but thought you might find the info useful.
Lemmy sends out the community name as a hashtag to Mastodon, so this post is tagged #nostupidquestions. The hashtag isn't visible, but the post shows up in the tag timeline nonetheless.
That’s really helpful to know.
It wasn’t the case in my situation though.
The post was in /c/historyruins@piefed.social and the hashtag I follow is #thailand.
Oh most definitely, here's this post on Mastodon:
Still unsure of how to do the reverse though.
Ok this 'appears' to work. Each community is viewable as a group in Mastodon, so you can tag it as you post and this creates a PieFed/Lemmy post onto PieFed's testing community.
Now to figure out the final step, how to crosslink posts.
What do you mean with "crosslinking" in this context?
You know how to view a threadiverse post from Mastodon. You know how to post a Mastodon post to a threadiverse community.
What else are you looking for?
My aim was to take an existing Mastodon post and basically repost it somewhere else here on Lemmy, but then have the discussion attached.
For example, John Mastodon makes a post about XYZ, then I crosspost it to the Open Source community, and if you open that post you can see the Mastodon comments and such, and commenting here on Lemmy would add to that conversation.
Can you do that with Lemmy/Piefed posts?
Yeah here's an example from yesterday:
This is posted to /c/memes@piefed.world and /c/memes@europe.pub, marked by this stacking icon thing.
You can see the comments from both communities if you visit either post in either community.
