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.

nothing against you but damn has that been inactive for a while. What is with the users of lemmy?
I'm not sure, but you could probably revive it or build your own. All it really takes is a few active users to start a new community. I'm looking for a new project and wouldn't mind helping you get this or another community off the ground.
Here are a couple of posts I found when looking for more information on the current state of Lemmy AMAs. They show community sentiment and past attempts to get started.
It's actually surprisingly easy to revive one if you give at least the minimum amount of effort required to be the only poster for a bit.
I've revived ones with zero posts for months.
Agreed. I also find that commenting and supporting good posts helps encourage more activity.
The mod is basically MIA...but did post there hoping for some feedback. Out of curiousity are you a mod or know about modding because I am looking for one to help me out at https://lemmy.world/c/amarequests
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !amarequests@lemmy.world
Yeah, I help mod thelyricsgame@lemmy.ca. If you're looking for new mods, sign me up
Have at it https://lemmy.world/c/amarequests thanks ahead of time....no sarcasm.
What did you have in mind? I was hoping to work together.
I'm an old dude that might be able to help, AMA
No shame in my game 👍
same here to be honest I have no clue how to mod or outfit the community. Don't know if you can view past posts but was asking anyone to help me
I understand, I actually saw you talking about it the other day. I'll burn out quickly this way though because it's one-sided. Is there a better way?
Not that I know of . Just looking for someone to help me with a banner or something and a side bar. And put requests on whoever like i did for poets and got the feed back so basically anything you come up with and post it and post questions you want answered.
I see the potential and I want to help. Count me in.
cool don't know how to make you a mod or anything or who to message to help me but am saving this. Can you contact people or post requests or anything?
Sure, I can do both of those. I'll try to understand what made the original AMA community successful to see if we can replicate that in any way. I might have some ideas for you by tomorrow.
cool Currently in the states an am usually up by 8am and pass out or go to sleep at 10.
They need to comment on a post then you can make them a mod as one of the actions on the comment.
What do you mean?
For how to make someone a mod.

A ton of subreddit replacement communities were created around the time of Reddit's API changes, and there simply weren't enough users to keep them going.
