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.

The fediverse has existed for much longer than lemmy has. I can put you in touch with the designers of the activitypub protocol, which the fediverse uses. I’m not sure what you need though
I just need a couple names or a single name so I can do an AMA Request and get it posted to AMA. I think it would be a neat interview and if need be i will send them the questions before.
You think they'll willingly contribute to the enrichment of Steve "Pigboy" Huffman? 🤣
sure why not they can show off promote and feel their userbase and hopefully it does not turn out like spez
You can find admins name at the bottom of the sidebar of Lemmyworld
I know that but looking for the OG of lemmyworld or the fediverse. Because it kind of seems like the creator was like bender by saying I don't like the social media I see so I will go and create my own.
That's a really strange "or." .world has only existed for about a year, since the big reddit exodus, and it's just an instance, running Lemmy software on a server. The Lemmy software was first released five years ago, but that wasn't the beginning of the fediverse. Like all fediverse apps, Lemmy makes use of the Activity Pub protocol, which came out like a year earlier.
right. I've been running infosec.exchange for going on 8 years, and the fediverse was already around for a while before that. It seems unlikely that lemmy admins, in particular, would want to do an AMA on reddit for the very reason that causes them to run a lemmy instance in the first place. but, you never know, I guess
Yeah, seems like a bad idea all the way around. Not sure Reddit would want it either.
