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.

Now that you mention it, yes and I'm enjoying the posts more.
I never even had an account on reddit but on lemmy i post shit ?
I didn't become an avid poster until I started using wefwef.app - it's a great implementation and I use it even on my desktop (in a mobile-sized window).
Yeah my Reddit account had maybe 5 posts in 13 years.
Beat that on day 1 of Lemmy!
I got banned for ‘ban evading’, so I’m glad to post again.
I had 2 accounts (one for school/comp Sci, one for everything else) I insulted a mod in a larger sub and got banned on account A. Forgot I was banned from it and commented on the sub it with account B. This was around winter/spring when they were testing new ban tools and got full ban on current/new accounts I make so I’ve been loving Lemmy so far.
My account was suspended 3 times for "vote manipulation" because my partner, my daughter, and I were all on the same sub for our city and they'd upvote my comments sometimes without noticing it was me. It was never their accounts, always mine, and trying to contact reddit was useless. They had to basically stop upvoting anything in that sub because if they did, I might get suspended again or even banned.
How it can be 2023 and reddit can't figure out that people live together is beyond me.
Don’t have as many rules about how to post here and new posts don’t get caught up with needing to be approved.
I became more active here because I don't feel like I'm contributing to a corporation. This is an open source software run by people who are just doing it because they like doing it.
I was banned from reddit for averting a ban so that's my engagement, before that I would post often on Reddit.
If anyone is curious why I was banned I argued in some conservative subreddit and was muted by a shitty mod who I called a bad name and that was enough to be banned, getting busted on a different account resulted in a heavier ban.
So fuck Reddit
Yep!
Reddit mods censored a lot of content both posts and comments. That was part of the reason reddit was not a positive experience and became a echo chamber. Lemmy appears to be more like the old internet where there were a diverse community of ideas and views.

Definitely commenting and upvoting more. Didn't even think about it until I saw your post!
I've always been a lurker and probably always will be. But until there's enough content to be lurked we all should do our part in creating the content and letting this whole site grow.
It’s just you
Yup. Comments too.
I just don't want to be the annoying little siblings to any of the old-school lemmings. Or, accidentally partake in overloading any instances that are being hosted via donations or personal hardware.
Definitely. I hardly even looked at Reddit for like 3 years. I feel comfortable and somewhat eager to talk here on Lemmy. The people are so much nicer, I’m not anxious about some entitled prick fighting with me about opinions.
Anger and spite, like what other have mentioned, but also, it's always nice to be part of a growing community.
You feel like you're actually contributing rather than just being a statistic.
Yep, this site has really chill vibes and it encourages posting
Is anybody having some weird language not allowed glitch?
Somewhat because I’m hoping to help build the community we want!
Seems like there's more reason to participate here. I may end up posting more, but several of my posts returned in error. Server issues, I assume, but frustrating when I'd have to rewrite everything.
Try joining a smaller instance, most of the performance issues will go away.
I'm posting some things that I would've normally just googled to do my part.
I've posted 4 threads on Kbin which is, to my knowledge, more than I had posted on Reddit. So, yes indeed! The difference here is pretty much that you do not need to post at a specific time of the day to get any exposure at all in my experience.
Nah, I've actually posted less on lemmy so far
Yeah, my reddit comment numbers had already been significantly declining by the time all this API stuff came around, even getting as low as a few a month
