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.

MODERATORS
To first clarify this community, it's not "don't ask stupid questions" its "there are no stupid questions". In other words, ask that thing you've wanted to know but feel dumb for not knowing. It's fine- there's no stupid questions.
AskLemmy is more centered on asking other (lems? Lemians? Lemmers? I have no idea what we call each other.) questions specifically. A question for asklemmy would be something like, "How do you all feel about x?" It's more of a general question and answer forum where the question is sometimes less important than the discussion that it causes.
What about "Lemons?"
You shouldn't ask a stupid question on AskLemmy.

Is the Pope a Catholic?
Somebody should ask him.
I've met a lot of Catholics that think he isn't... somehow. I'm not sure how this works.
At some point even the pope disagreed. Or well, one of them did. It was complicated.
A stupid question is something like "why can't we just follow the teachings of Ayn Rand and live in a libertarian utopia?" because everyone with a brain knows she is just a bad romance writer without a grip on reality and a basic understanding of how government is necessary to do things like safely build a skyscraper or acquire enough continuous land for a railroad. We don't want stupid questions like that because obnoxious Ayn Rand followers will start spouting off nonsense.
Ppl take lemmy too seriously. You remember all that negativity from reddit?
Yea, that's mostly here on lemmy now. Reddit has become much more pleasant since they've moved here.
Reddit is not without its issues. Only saying the difference is noticeable for sure.
