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.

So imagine Lemmy is outlook.com and Mastodon in gmail.com. When you want to send an email to someone on outlook.com, you send them on gmail.com to their outlook address.
Lemmy and Mastodon work similarly. From Mastodon, you can follow Lemmy communities and interact with posts and comments directly from within Mastodon. Your login information on Mastodon is separate from Lemmy, they’re different accounts on different instances.
What you’ll want to do is log into Mastodon on Mastodon and follow Lemmy communities. You’ll be able from there to interact with Lemmy like you’re interacting with Toots. Granted it only works if the instance you’re following federates with mastodon.
Ok, so I have logged in Mastodon on the web using my Mastodon account. Then search and found the user @[email protected] but how do I interact with other Lemmy users and topics? On Mastodon web client I can't see the discussions threads.
Is there an app that allows this? Where I think this wrongly?
My understanding is that you will only be able to see new posts from after you follow the user on Mastodon because mastodon doesn’t pull older posts and only pulls posts once you follow the community. I may be wrong though.
