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.

Lemmy has a ton of desktop front ends and mobile apps. When asking a UI question, you need to specify what you’re using to browse.

Default (web)browser theme

Firefox on MacOS and Android. lemmy.world probably isn't updated yet

[–] RGB3x3@lemmy.world 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

"Default browser theme" is about as helpful as "the one with salt" when asking about a recipe.

[–] Thorny_Insight@lemm.ee 3 points 10 months ago

Any web browser. Lemmy's default theme is literally named "browser default"

It's highlighting unread comments. Not sure it can be disabled.

[–] Thorny_Insight@lemm.ee 4 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (2 children)

You sure? Because when I open a thread I haven't viewed before there's just a few random comments that are highlighted and it's doing that my my own comments aswell.

EDIT: Like this one

[–] PeachMan@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Right, it's trying to highlight unread comments but it's bad at doing that job. Lol.

[–] Stamets@lemmy.world 0 points 10 months ago

Well either the link is definitely being opened before or your instance is glitching and thinks it has. What you're describing is the new comment feature.

Normally it works by you going to a link for the first time and it loads all the comments. You can add comments and they'll show up as normal but when you refresh the page or revisit it highlights all the stuff added. Your comments fit that criteria as they were added since the last time you visited it.

Wouldn't be surprised if there was a lemmy glitch over it. Something to ask your instance admins about for sure.

[–] AA5B@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (2 children)

That would be cool. Any way to turn this on for a browser ?

[–] theKalash@feddit.ch 5 points 10 months ago (2 children)

First your instances has to upgrade to lemmy 0.19.

Lemmy.world is still on 0.18.5

[–] AA5B@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Thanks. I’ll look forward to it

[–] Thorny_Insight@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Yeah seems to be a new feature on 0.19

uBlock filter to disable it, anyone?

[–] theKalash@feddit.ch 1 points 10 months ago

It doesn't seem to work as intended at this time. But back on reddit this was "gold" feature. And I actually liked it. Hopefully it will be fixed.

[–] reksas@sopuli.xyz 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I think it displays messages that were just created, like within 15mins or something.

[–] jameseb@lemm.ee 2 points 10 months ago

10 minutes based on my experience.
