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. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

More stuff that isn't memes, news and politics. Like, apparently there's two people on this whole platform watching Harley Quinn (or at least leaving a comment about it in the discussion thread). Pretty much everything that isn't memes, news or politics is still dead around here. Except for pro wrestling somehow.
What I'm still missing from Reddit is actual discussion of the forms of entertainment that I enjoy. I even tried that thread about "what music are you listening to" that pops up in casual conversation once or twice but no one gives a fuck, not even the OP of those threads bothers going through and giving an up arrow to people that have replied. And no one interacts with any replies either, so might as well be on Facebook for that kind of 'discussion'.
I'm also missing the haircare and skincare type subreddits. There were a lot of valuable resources and it was nice having a place for the occasional stupid questions. Also fashion / style type subreddits. I still think those would do great around here with LemmyNSFW mostly kept separate from everything else, so it would help keep the one handed browsers away. Although I still maintain that a big barrier for certain people in this regard is no posting to your own profile.
But yeah, there is lots and lots of stuff that this platform still needs. Memes, news and politics are the first things you'll get on every platform. Now I just wish there was more than that.
!WomensStuff@lazysoci.al started recently, hopefully that will help with other topics.
!Television@lemm.ee and !movies@lemm.ee are quite active, a recent thread on !movies@lemm.ee made it to 300 comments
Trying to mitigate that with the pinned post on !communitypromo@lemmy.ca
"Women's Stuff" is such a fucking brain-dead name for content about skincare and hair. I'm a man, yet I also have skin and (some) hair.
Is there a community like /r/skincareaddiction? That place was (probs still is tbh) the bomb for affordable/effective products, honest product reviews, and evidence-based recommendations from cosmetologist members.
Yeah this is where I'm coming from. I ofc don't like the evolution of reddit and didn't want anything in that sense.
But the traction in casual themes seems lacking. Like ofc it will be less and smaller. But I feel like some branches are completely missing while others seem so dry.
That's the thing being a small community with a direct monopoly. The unique selling point (USP) needs to be so clear for users.
But I think we should keep repeating these posts, even if there's no traction. We are laying the ground work in that sense. And one person reacting to the fifth post is what it's all about. It's the content to be put out there.
So I think you succeeded with your music thread! It's just the expectation is on the wrong metric here, keep going. WILLYA?
That's where I'm coming from with my fetching topic. Not because I like the current reddit, but because subs like Harley quinn need stuff for browsing majority to interact with!
