No Stupid Questions
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.

Let's differentiate between a Fediverse service, like kbin or Calckey, and something like Fedilab, which is a mobile app.
Fedilab supporting 8 different services is different from any one service being interoperable with 7 others. This is because the mobile apps aren't using ActivityPub to talk to the different servers, they're using each service's API. And they don't all have the same API, or support the same feature set.
Consider Lemmy and kbin. Lemmy doesn't have support for thr microblogging feed, so an app that supported both would either need special support for the microblog on kbin, or exclude it.
Then say they want to roll out Mastodon and Calckey support. Well, Mastodon is a relatively simple microblog in many respects, with posts, and lists, and favouritrs, but Calckey has a "Channels" feature, emoji reactions, instant messaging, "Antennae" saved searches, local-only posting, and advanced Markup features. Everything that makes Calckey different from Mastodon just gets hidden if special development isn't done to actually support Calckey features.
And then there's Pleroma and Akkoma, which have many similar features, but different implementations, and so on, and so forth.
