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.

Forgive me if this is truly a stupid question but I cannot find the answer and I have been afraid to ask.

Am attaching a screen shot to assist my babbling below.

When surfing thru the various communities (and please feel free to correct me if I use a wrong term here) I will see many that have the same name but only difference is that at the end of that name, there is an ‘@xyz.ca’ or similar.

I assumed these were just the same communities only started on different servers?

However I have seen several - like the one where my arrow points to that doesn’t have an ‘@‘ location at the end of it. Can someone explain to me the difference here? Thanks

Lemmy is federated, so there are multiple "similar" communities on different instances. Here you are on lemmy.world if there isnt amy @ ... if there is something like @lemmy.ml it is on lemmy.ml. You can subscribe to them on every instance ( only if the instance is blocked ), comment and create posts there

Why doesn't flyfishing@lemmy.world show up when I log into kbin.social and try to subscribe from that instance?

I started it here: https://lemmy.world/c/flyfishing

The only thing I can think of is kbin isn’t federating with lemmy.world completely. I’m pretty sure kbin stuff should show up on lemmy and vice versa.

[–] money_loo@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I think I got it working: https://kbin.social/search?q=flyfishing%40lemmy.world

Had to search from the address bar by typing the lemmy.world server name in the url.

Subbed from my kbin account for you so it should federate right, now.

Hope this helped!

Until someone on kbin subscribes to it via putting in the url directly it doesn't show up as kbin dose not know it exists iirc. Same thing with Lemmy, if someone on your instance isn't subscribed to a community on another instance then it doesn't show up until someone dose

Edit: Getting a 404 error when I try to go there to subscribe, as money_loo said its probably a backend issue with kbin

[–] Blackbeard@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Can I get that process started? Where do I put the url in directly to subscribe from kbin if/when the 404 error is corrected?

[–] wethan2@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Looks like someone has already subbed, so it should show up now, but essentially you just manually put in the url and go there. for example this page on kbin is https://kbin.social/m/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world, just change that to https://kbin.social/m/flyfishing@lemmy.world and subscribe with a kbin account.

Turns out there is a few other ways to do it as well, this stack exchange post should have some more information if you want it.
