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.

MODERATORS
There's no central authority here who can allow or prohibit anything.
The highest authorities are the owners of the individual instances, so if any of them choose to allow it (which I'm sure some would) then they will.
@nebulaone is a Lemmy.World user & asked the question on a Lemmy.World community, I assume the question was directly asking if they'd be allowed to create the community on Lemmy.World.
In the .World code of conduct, the only things that I can see that might be problematic are:
Bullies, trolls and disruptors are not welcome in Mastodon.world. We will moderate accordingly.
Do not engage in name calling, ad hominem attacks, or any other uncivil behaviour. Criticize ideas, never people.
Since the concept of the sub as a whole seems like the above is kind of the entire point point, I think the rules bear mentioning, but as long as it's not directly talking about specific people in the Fediverse, I think they'd be ok based on the written spirit of the rules, as long as proper moderating is done within the community.
Worst case, OP would just need to find a new instance [as thread OP indicated] or spin up their own server.
ETA: Sorry that you deleted your comment! I don't think it really applied in this situation, but the info in there was still good!
