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.

...If you're joining a site called Yandere, aren't you going in with some expectations of sexual content...? Or am I off-base in my understanding of yandere? I know it doesn't necessarily have to involve sex fwiw, however in my experience a decent amount of Japanese manga/anime online that leans romantic also goes straight to lust town, especially if fans have any say.
I joined VeraciousNetwork, a gaming instance running on Mastodon.
The problem is that if you check your federated feed (which is a damn necessity on a smaller instance), you see content from all the instances that haven't been defederated from your home instance. The reason I haven't used Mastodon since is because my feed was filled with porn and hentai from these three instances.
Worse, I saw the 'loli' hashtag on one of the tweets and noped the fuck outta there.
Damn, yeah, that's enough of a bad first impression (mainly the "loli" shit) that I'd be put off from it too. I'd misread/understood your post at first (as you having joined the named instances vs. one federated with them), so my bad there!
That's one of the misfires of folks trying to tell people to join any instance when suggesting Mastodon/Lemmy. The instances do matter, as you rapidly found out, since the admins/mods determine which other instances you may have the misfortune of seeing posts from.
I managed to avoid a similar, "uh fuck i'm out" experience by doing a little more digging on the first Mastodon instance I joined, but I recognize that really shouldn't be expected of everyone.
