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.

Do you use RSS? (vlemmy.net)

RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication, and it is a simple, standardized content distribution method that can help you stay up-to-date with your favorite newscasts, blogs, websites, and social media channels. Instead of visiting sites to find new posts or subscribing to sites to receive notification of new posts, find the RSS feed on a website and read new posts in an RSS reader.

Do you use RSS to curate your own information feed? Looking to expand my sources to include different perspectives and new interesting topics and would love any suggestions.

Yeah, of course. How else will I know when my various serialized content updates? Like, are people out there just checking a list of blogs and comics by hand every few days? I used to do that before RSS, and it suuuuuucked.

[–] Kissaki@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

I have a hosted rss reader/aggregate set up. But I only occasionally check it and read or go through a few.

[–] ElectroVagrant@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Yep! There's a community here for recommendations related to RSS too! !rssfeeds@lemmy.world

I've recently realized that I may also want a different desktop app (so not necessarily involving a server) for reading RSS feeds than what I've been using. Was trying to use Thunderbird for this for the convenience of email/calendar/RSS, but I have this feeling that it may not be able to adequately handle some of the variations I've seen cropping up with some sites' RSS (which may be those sites mucking it up more than anything to do with Thunderbird tbh but not sure).

[–] JTskulk@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

RSS is great! I use it for Slashdot, Youtube, some webcomics.

[–] loudWaterEnjoyer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago

Yes

[–] amycatgirl@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 year ago

Yup! I use Feeder as my RSS aggregator of choice

I subscribe to technology news sites and lgbtq+ news sites using it, since it's waaay better than going into each site and finding an article that interests me, opposed to opening feeder and finding my links categorized by site

[–] exscape@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

I stopped using RSS around when I started using Reddit, so around 2008-2009!
I'm surprised to see that it's still so popular, or has it gained traction again recently?
I didn't hear much about RSS in between 2010-2022 TBH.

[–] Bill@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah. I run my own FreshRSS server and use FeedMe to access it. It's mostly just a bunch of UK newspapers and tech news sites because I realised I was getting all my news from Twitter and I wanted to cut back my use of Twitter. It's fine. The great thing about getting my news from social media was that I'd follow a load of people with similar interests to me so I'd mostly just see articles that interested me regardless of the source. Now it takes more scrolling to get past the articles I don't care about to find the ones I want to read. It means I get a broader overview of news that isn't effectively curated for me, either by other people or by algorithm, but it's not as engaging. It is the right choice though if you're looking to see more outside of what you're usually shown, as you say.

I've been running tiny tiny tss (ttrs) server since google reader died. It's been great & there's an android app.

[–] eugenia@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

Yes, I use feedly. Newsblur is restricting a lot of things in their free version, but I find Feedly more open.
