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.

Definitely, don't feel nearly as self conscious about posting with less activity
My posting activity has increased exponentially because I'm not instantly banned for literally anything I post. And I wasn't one to say needlessly hateful things but I guess a mod or admin didn't appreciate my irritation with them. This is more gooder.
I've posted 4 threads on Kbin which is, to my knowledge, more than I had posted on Reddit. So, yes indeed! The difference here is pretty much that you do not need to post at a specific time of the day to get any exposure at all in my experience.
Almost any thread i opened within the first few posts someone already said what i would have said, so i would just scroll until i found my confirmation bias, updoot and move on. i wonder if lemmy will get so massive that the problem comes here.
Same with me. I was a lurker on reddit and never really felt the need to contribute, but with Lemmy I really want the place to grow and it needs content to do that.
Already posted several comments. In my 10 years of reddit, I posted perhaps 10 times. So im way above my average on lemmy until now. I try to be more active to attract more lemmings.
Ooh I'm tryin
I'm going to make an active effort to post stuff here, I used to just be a commenter on Reddit, time to branch out and try interacting with this place more. Should be fun.
Yes. I want to contribute to Lenny’s success if I can 😀
Just created this account, let's see.
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
