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.

Hello folks! I created the MetalVinyl a few days ago and was just having a look on some other instances (I am on lemmy world and the sub was also created there - I believe?). Weirdly if I head over to lemm.ee or beehaw.org and try to find it, it's not showing up but I can see other subs from lemmy.world? Did I do anything wrong when creating it? Or is it fully normal that it seems to be only available for lemmy.world? Thanks in advance!

Someone from the instance you are logged into must sub first. Until a singular user from a instance subs, you won't see it auto populate. If you want to be the one to initiate it, login on the instance you want to see the sub using your web browser and use the search function. You may have to search by !community@instance. Sometimes there is a delay in the search, so give it a few seconds.

Ok now it makes more sense, you mentioned I need to be logged in. I only have a lemmy.world account active so thats why I can't pull the result maybe. Even a search with the full name didn't give me any results - !metalvinyl@lemmy.world

Copy the link and post it into the search bar on the remote instance. It might need to be refreshed a couple times before it shows up.

You have to search for it with its full name on the target instance, for example !metalvinyl@lemmy.world (not sure it's the correct handle, fix the name yourself if it isn't). That way the instance in question learns it exists. And after someone subscribes, it starts pulling the content regularly.

Thank you so much, that explains it. I only searched for "vinyl"

I see it just fine when I clicked your link. I am guessing it has to do with the growth/user load of Lemmy.world. Hopefully the instance mods will be able to sort it out. For shits and giggles, create an account on a smaller instance and then visit it from there. I have a few accounts spread out amongst instances (started exploring the fediverse a few weeks ago to see how things work). I have been having trouble on my lemmy.workd account last few days, so I have played around on the other ones and don't have as rough of a time accessing and posting. Will eventually go back to the lemmy.world account when things improve. Just a matter of time.

Thanks so much, yeah maybe I should create another one as I am having big troubles with lemmy.world rn as well.
