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.

meta (threads) will not support fediverse already. They said they will do in some later version. So for the completely practical part, you don't need to do anything right now.
Isn't threads a Twitter clone? Will it even effect Lemmy? For me personally I don't use Mastodon, but I might if threads is successful. I use Twitter to follow famous people I like. If famous people move to the fediverse because of threads that will only make sites like Mastodon better in my opinion.
My understanding is that Mastadon and Lemmy are both federated and I’ve seen Mastadon posts in my Lemmy feed somehow so it’s not unreasonable to assume threads could eventually populate its way over here at some point.
Well, if you're on desktop and you don't mind installing scripts on your browser, there's a Tampermonkey/Greasemonkey script. https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/141704

THANK YOU for this
you can't, but you can nag admins until they do
Maybe I'm wrong, but I assumed this is more a concern for mastadon.
Lemmy doesn't have this feature, but Kbin does. Kbin fixes a lot of the issues with Lemmy.
Second this. After the Reddit fiasco, I also deleted my Meta account and everything having to do with it. I want absolutely nothing to do with them or listen if they died as a platform or not.
It's easy and painless to create a new account with a different instance, so if the instance you're on isn't doing what you want, just delete that account and switch to a better instance.
You can definitely create a new account elsewhere, but I'm going to need a 2 click solution to export my presence on my current instance and to import it into the new one before it's "painless" or "easy".
I don't care about my comments or posts, but the block lists and subscriptions need to travel.
Threads still don't have federalization implemented. Try to calm down a bit and not panic.
Being prepared is not panicking.
