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.

My favorite is PixelFed. I'm an artist, so Instagram was important for me, but for a few years now it's absolutely terrible (no reach at all with their special algorithms). PixelFed fixes all that, it replicates the feeling of IG as it was 8-10 years ago: chronological feed, tag-based, no extraneous features. I'm really enjoying it, as I can finally grow again my followship as an artist: https://pixelfed.org/

Bonus points for lack of normies posting crappy reels

How can I find you there ? I joined not long ago and I lack interesting people to follow. Also, curious to see your work :)

Thanks, found you. Nice work you're doing. I'm new so I don't have much to feature, but I hope you'll like my photos :)

Is there interoperability between pixel fed and lemmy at all? I'm so sick of Instagram, this piques my interest

[โ€“] eugenia@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

There is interoperability between PixelFed and Mastodon for sure. I often get a lot of likes from there, rather than PixelFed itself.

Any great FOSS apps for that one yet?:)

Hm, is there a play store link? I'm not sure how to put an app on my phone that's not from the playstore

[โ€“] Hadriscus@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Don't know about Pixelfed specifically (dont have it installed) but you can get FDroid from the play store and then use it to install other packages not approved by googul

Where do you live where F-Droid is in the Play Store? In the US, you have to download the apk from the F-Droid website.

France... , didn't know that. Probably antitrust laws in effect

[โ€“] phlaym@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 year ago

Not yet, because it hasn't officially released yet. Will happen soon(ish) though I think. Some mastodon clients work with pixelfed as well, although not perfectly.

[โ€“] lenathaw@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

the official app works great on Android

It comes with a PWA that works well enough.

Do you have any suggestions as to how to find people on there? I have it installed and am trying it out, but I'm running into a lot of the same problems I was having on Mastodon; it seems difficult to discover engaging content.

[โ€“] eugenia@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

You can follow me if you like book illustration art: https://pixelfed.social/EugeniaLoli Another way, is to search for tags. For example, if you like fishing, you search for that tag, and then you find ppl that post interesting fishing stuff.

So much good photos on there no generic popular spam crap like you get on Instagram
