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.

I like this one the most: https://lemmyverse.net/communities
Noob here. When I click the link of a page there I am not logged in. How can I watch and reply to this from lemmy.world?
Don't click the title, click the text starting wirh ! (like
[!linux@lemmy.ml](/c/linux@lemmy.ml)) and paste it into search on lemmy.world. It will find that community and you can then click it and join.Edit: If others are reading this, you can click the home button and setup your home instance, thay way the links will correctly go to your instance and the whole process is much better!
Thank you! It worked, though quite cumbersome
You can also set your home instance and the links will open on the one that you choose. :)
How do you set your home instance?
Top right - home icon
What does set your home instance mean?
Set the instance you have an account on/login to day to day.
yes, unfortunately finding, joining and linking to other communities across instances kinda blows now, but given how new lemmy is i think that will improve over time!
Yeah this feels like a big flaw in the systemyeah it's cool it's all communal, but being split is weird
Casual users will just want a 'subscribe' like you do on Reddit. They're not going to care about servers and instances and 3 different variations of the same community on different lemmys, that's just a hurdle.
I know this because nobody in my friend group has made the jump because it's too confusing. I'm the usual tech-guy early adopter in the group but most of this has gone over my head too.
I've been using this userscript to redirect all links to my instance. If you've never installed a userscript, it's pretty easy, you just need to install the Tampermonkey browser extension (there are others but it's the one I use), then click the greasyfork link in the post I linked, and click install.
