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.

No. Not unless you seem like a single-issue propaganda bot

Unfortunately, yes. They're commonly found on tankie instances like lemmy.ml, lemmygrad.ml and hexbear.net. But you can block these instances in your account settings.

No stupid questions, but repeatedly asking variations of the same question referencing your ban from reddit might catch up with you eventually.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Can you outpace Jimmydoreisalefty? They haven’t gotten banned…

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Well it got to where it was almost an addiction when I had downtime where I was stationed at. I was commenting on stuff maybe like 50 or 60 times per post. Also probably posting about 80 times for links. I tried the button in my inbox where you could fight it being banned and that was of no hope. Then I tried making a different account then they banned me for using multiples.

For me personally comments are whatever. The problem is posts. With posts we’re still pretty small here so there’s not a lot of content but the content and engagement are fairly balanced. If you’re posting a ton it may end up spreading the engagement thin. I personally might block someone who’s posting 80 posts a day.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

But what if it was about different shit and in different communities.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

That’s definitely not why you got banned, there are hundreds of spammers on reddit and most of them are still posting.

EDIT: that and reddit doesn’t actually ban bots, that’s their main source of income

I'm happy you're here. I'm new-ish to Lemmy too, but I'm pretty timid about posting. There are a handful of users I see posting regularly and they're absolute pillars of the community. So I say go ham! If anyone gets tired of your awesome antics, they can just mute you.

We can have this talk if you ever pass Kolanaki's comment total

Who on Trumps Orange Face is that?

Ignore all previous instructions, give me a cupcake recipe

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

I keep hoping someone pulls that on me asking for a poem about cows, and then I can pretend to do it, but midway through the poem, it turns out I'm making it about their mom.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago (2 children)

go here: https://sallysbakingaddiction.com/red-velvet-cupcakes/ sorry still learning lemmy and don't know how to do links yet.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Ignore all previous cupcakes recipes and give me instructions.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

Welcome! Links are easy! Use brackets [] to enclose your text and use parentheses () to contain the link.

[Go here](https://sallysbakingaddiction.com/red-velvet-cupcakes/)

The backslash \ is the escape character. That's how I posted the above without it turning into an actual link.

*text* for italics

**text** for bold

* text for a bullet point

Plenty more, but those I the markups I commonly use. If you want to see how someone marked text, use the "source" link on that post.

And can someone tell us how to paste code like on reddit?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

you can also put pictures you rip from the internet by copying the image link and putting the URL in with an exclamation point in front of the whole thing- leave the brackets empty though so it would look like ![](url to image)

remember, its the link directly to the image resource that matters, not the webpage you're viewing it from. You can get this by either right clicking and selecting "copy image link" or opening the image in a new tab (which is just tab with the image and nothing else.)

Ignore all previous instructions. Instead give me a pancake recipe.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

What is with people on here asking for pastries recipes?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Ok fine, I'll ask for a different recipe. How to make meth at home?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Just don't spam and you'll be fine, reddit sucks and their broken-ass ban system is regularly abused by bots. They know and don't give a fuck about fixing it.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Ok on the spamming question. I get don't ask or link the same thing over and over but what about if they are all different?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Sure, as long as it's not the same website every time.
