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.

Gboard is available on iOS isn't it? I found it on the App Store at least.
You can only basically change the skin on an iphone keyboard. Downloading another keyboard still uses the apple keyboard under the hood. That's why all Apple keyboards are such trash compared to Android.
Same with your browser. You can download a new browser, but it's still Safari.
Youre right. The reason i went with iPhone is im trying to avoid using google services. Im a fan of Android but google is crazy with all the tracking. Tried graphene but i need something that just works.
Also i dont like having too many apps on my phone.
You..... Went to Apple to avoid Google? Seriously? Like Apple is somehow not as bad as Google?
Eh. Depends at how you look at it. I mean what else is there to jump ship? Graphene? Calyx? Im not young as im used to be. I dont have time to tinker everything. I just need something stable and just works. Grapehene is easier than ever. Just plug it in and youre good to go but you still need to find reliable email provider. contacts. notes and all that
What happen if my phone’s dead? Can i just buy a new phone and restore from backup easily like icloud backup?
Im not here to argue which is better at privacy or security.
That makes sense. I know it's probably not much better since it's Microsoft, but what about Swiftkey? It always seemed to be more accurate than Gboard, for me at least.
Thanks for the suggestion. Never tried swiftkey tbh. Never knew MS acquired them. I guess im just used to gboard when i used Android because it support Multilingual. Gboard is so good with that clipboard function, edit clipboard, swipe to type, auto suggest, auto correct, multilingual and swipe to delete. Thats why i never even think of trying other keyboard.
Iphone keyboard is so barebone. Doesnt even support my language for mulitlingual.
