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.

I installed https://wefwef.app as a PWA via Edge, and I keep it snapped to one side. I pull it up whenever I want to check my feeds, and get the same experience on Desktop as on phone. I like it to a ludicrous level.
Funny thing is that WefWef achieved what many wanted from Apollo, to have a desktop/Mac/iPad client, many were convinced that it was the Half life 3 of Apollo.
Care to elaborate on what makes this better?
I'm not the original poster, but as someone who used Apollo on an iPhone for years, it has the same look/feel of Apollo and is (generally) pretty snappy. Admittedly, I haven't tried many other apps/PWAs for comparison, but I find wefwef to be easy to use, easy to switch between accounts when necessary, and it has the same Apollo-ish interface I've gotten used to over time.
I never used Apollo, but I'm pretty high on wefwef right now. My phone even autocorrects it if I spell it wrong now, lol. I love the way things are presented in it, and snapped to one side in Windows, it's just a perfect half-screen feed that I can leave open all the time, and since it's installed, I can have a dedicated Lemmy icon my Desktop Taskbar to check once in a while as I'm doing other things and it's like it's own little app. I keep signal snapped to side as well. It just suits my work flow. I find it easier to read and a better use of space than the website proper as well.
