!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:
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.

Yes and no.
When I'm at my PC, yes I did become more active.
On mobile, I'm waiting for a better app like Relay and Sync to finally make Lemmy usable. Jerboa is barely-functional even with the latest update which finally added UI improvements, at the cost of making the app unusable with instances running on older versions of Lemmy and a slew of other glitches that make certain tabs unviewable.
Well I'm just new here. I posted a lot on Reddit. But I have to say, I'm running across some new forums (or whatever they're called here) at least one or two a day with hugely interesting discussion. Subscribe subscribe subscribe...I thought my Reddit interest list was pretty solid.
Nah, but I'm definitely a more avid commenter!
That may or may not be a good thing.
definitely find smaller sites like lemmy easier to post on since its much easier to repeat yourself on reddit and perhaps more modded so i refrain from saying a lot of stuff?
It's a bit ironic that I've seen this exact same post about three times already. Apparently you're the only one posting stuff.
Or maybe I don't know how Lemmy works.
Just you. I comment the same amount I always have, omaybe slightly less.
I feel the need to contribute so the community continues to thrive.

Excellent contribution, Citizen o7
Nope, since I left reddit I spend less time mindlessly looking at my phone. But I do enjoy lemmy in healthy doses.
There's a common understanding that if you want more activity you need more activity to attract more people. Its a feedback loop that requires engagement. We lurkers know that the best way to help Lemmy grow to a critical mass is to temporarily become active for the sake of fucking over reddit.
It's like jump starting the engine. We need a spark
For me the main factor was replies slanted extremely mean on Reddit, whereas here it's only been polite conversation so far.
I'm perfectly willing to talk on a platform where I'm not getting death threats because I didn't like a videogame or whatever.
I never even had an account on reddit but on lemmy i post shit ?
I’ve started commenting more often. I don’t really have much to share/talk about atm, but commenting here is great because there is a significantly reduced chance of someone replying to my comment just to try and 1-UP my ass.
With much smaller user base, one can actually get their posts/replies seen. Big difference.
Yeah my Reddit account had maybe 5 posts in 13 years.
Beat that on day 1 of Lemmy!
I’ve always been a lurker, but I am trying to change. However, I don’t want to comment for the sake of just commenting as well.
I also never comment for the sake of commenting
Same
