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.

As much as everyone hates dating apps, it’s dating apps. Keep an open mind and go on dates looking to just get to know another person. Apps put a large swath of people in your view that otherwise you may not have crossed paths with.
Otherwise, church, bars, hobby meet ups.
you don't make friends on dating apps. you find dates.
I met my current friend group through dating apps. You gotta keep an open mind when meeting people - you’re there to get to know them as a person. Sometimes that leads to dating, sometimes it’s friendship.
Women tell men they want to be friends as a way to reject them softly. They don't mean it.
I’ve got plenty of friends who are men. You’re only shooting yourself in the foot to believe these gendered things about women and men.
No, that's my life experience. No woman from a dating app has ever wanted to be my friend unless she was trying to get in my pants and I wasn't into her.
You are a woman, you have a lot more social luxury and I bet you 100% all the 'male friends' you met on dating apps are secretly hoping one day you will 'wake up' and date them.
The people you meet on dating apps tend to know other people and you can build a friend group. You know, if you’re likeable and friendly.
I think it’s more telling that no one wants to be friends with you. That shouldn’t be extrapolated to all women don’t want to be friends with men.
You don’t know me and to make such assumptions is only good to further isolate yourself from society.
So manipulate people I meet on dating apps to date their hotter friends?
Now you're just arguing for dishonestly and manipulation. Nice. So upstanding.
I'm not isolated from society. I just don't use people on dating apps or treat them like social commodities. The fact you think in such dicthomies is alarming. You're either socially isolated, or you need to use people.
Where I stand I have honest and healthy relationships. I don't go around trying to acquire people like Pokemon and I certainly don't use dating apps for a social life.
You see no value in befriending women if you can’t stick your dick in them?
OP did say “get into relationships.”
the commenter is saying to get on dating apps to make friends.
I think you’re confused. Neither OP nor the commenter immediately above are limiting their remarks to friends only.
“How do you meet new people or get into relationships after college?”
