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.

Me. Also no. I made r/Artisanvideos, turned it into a thriving community, and got sacked for a tongue in cheek comment. I get the impression that Reddit's admins specifically pound the pavement to remove people from their successful work and take it for themselves.
Tbh, it's really nice to not have to obsess over that anymore.
Sorry to hear, must have felt bad after growing that community.

It was kind of spur of the moment to make it. I saw a need and made it happen! I don't generally try to do that, but after it started actually growing I got obsessed and defensive about it. I can't tell you how crazy agitated I got about spammers, advertisers, pluggers, and bots. I regularly told people off. It was always "quit your bullshit, don't even try to act like you're not here for the giant audience visibility on our relatively low post count" and people would call me a tyrant because I shut the door on them trying to abuse it. I'm literally the reason r/subredditdrama was born. I don't want any of that anymore and I lucked out having found a good guy to leave in charge a good few months before I was banned. It's so hard to find the right guy who's not just clamoring for power.
