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.

Yup, mostly lurker to poster
Definitely I am more willing to post and comment, since reddit fail down. :)
I love posting here! It, like you said, has a much nicer and kinder vibe here 💕
Ah now that I finally figured out how to comment maybe I can join this trend
Well I'm just new here. I posted a lot on Reddit. But I have to say, I'm running across some new forums (or whatever they're called here) at least one or two a day with hugely interesting discussion. Subscribe subscribe subscribe...I thought my Reddit interest list was pretty solid.
I don't, tbh I'm still trying to get a feel for the liftoff app and it just doesn't feel as easy as boost and sometimes it's kinda buggy. I also don't know what to post
I post way more than I ever did on reddit
I commented on reddit a lot, many times a day for many years. After the latest bullshit I had no qualms about dropping it like a hot potato. Bye bye, not going back. The future of social media is decentralized.
I posted a fair amount on Reddit, this place seems fun.
For sure! That’s because I was banned, though. I said something to trumpers in a thread that was just apparently too much. Happy to be here, though.
Have not made a post yet (busy with school and work) but I definitely comment more. Feels so much like web 1.0 forums with a splash of 2.0.
It's actually the other way around here... on reddit, i often found silly arguments I'd end up getting involved in and it'd end up taking so much of my time with stupid stressful bickering. Here, i mostly see sensible discussion, and any points i want to make are already being thoughtfully discussed, so there's no need for me to wade in.
Finding it way easier to engage and comment. Don't have to wade through thousands of shit comments on Lemmy. Loving it!
Yes I’ve definitely posted more here than Reddit. The only thing that keeps me from posting more is performance issues. There have been a few times when I wrote a response but the post button just spins and eventually I give up.
Definitely posting more, i feel like on reddit it could too easily get a bit aggressive sometimes whereas, whilst people are disagreeing in comments on lemmy, it is a nicer tone. Less intimidating.
That and the volume of messages (lower) makes it feel less intimidating for me.
I would have commented 4 times in last many years on reddit. On Lemmy (across instances) I have already posted over 40 in the last few weeks.
Same Literally never posted on Reddit in my decade of lurking. Lemmy is more welcoming and 'charming' IMO
I'm trying to be a more avid poster but the gateway errors are making it difficult.
Just joined lemmy last night. (Now it's morning where I am from). Already commented 3-4 times. On reddit I used to comment once probably in a couple of weeks. It's probably because it's something very new and interesting. Also I am finding that people around seem nicer in a way maybe?
I’ve felt the same but on Bluesky the last few days, for the exact same reasons. Was on kbin and not really enjoying it, but coming to here and hoping it takes off! Excited to be wanting to interact and post versus just lurk because of toxic communities
I’ve always been a comment contributor. I just do it here instead of that old alien site. Also wiped my stuff over there.
For sure not just you. I noticed my first day too - especially on SDF, which is a much smaller instance. Somehow it feels more like being at a small party compared to being on a crowded subway.
I'm doing my part!
Smaller communities, more intimate experiences, and overall, the people you'd see here are most likely who won't accept or allow what Reddit now stands for.
Yeah I started posting here too
Oh man tell me about it. I have been commenting on posts that I find interesting all the time here. In Reddit, I was a lurker with maybe a few uploads and upvote/downvote per year. There’s something about lemmy, I guess it’s the potential to be a true community that excites me
Absolutely
I am defenitely more active here when posting, but, looking at my reddit-account it becomes clear I was an active commenter before I left.
I've become a more avid lurker compared to a infrequent lurker on reddit
One of us, one of us!
