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.

Technically you can access anything posted in either instance from either site. But I did the same thing before I understood federation, so don’t worry. You are not alone. Except maybe in a philosophical view.
I see! Guess I need to read up on how federation works

I enter to Reddit for the memes (with all the shitshow it is occurring right now) and for the community itch that Reddit used to scratch there is Lemmy.
Since they confirmed that won't change their mind about the API changes, I uninstalled infinity and I only spend time here. So far has been great!

Yes, since yesterday I replaced Sync Pro on my screen with Jerboa, so I click it dozens of times per day. Today I haven't go on Reddit once.

Yes. The fact that I routinely view by All, and it's pleasant, is lovely.
I am for sure. I just head over for one maybe two subs that I cannot replace (yet), and only once or twice a day (instead of constantly).
Besides that may random scrolling and news related needs are fully satisfied by lemme.
I try to spend most of my time over here, but i head over to Reddit when I want a sub that isn't available on Lemmy.
I bailed off of Reddit three months ago, after /r/Pathfinder2e started reaching peak echo chamber.
I jumped to lemmy the day of or the day before the blackout began, and moved to Kbin shortly after. Since then, I think I tapped into Reddit a total of 5-or-so times to check out solutions to web searches without bothering to log in. Three of of those times just led to a private subreddit, so I just backed out and looked elsewhere.
For my usual news binge, Kbin (& Lemmy), has more than sufficed. The fediverse has quickly made abandoning reddit pretty trivial for me.
I'm not a twitter user I've always liked reddit lemmy is reddit but without the ads
Probably 98% Lemmy, 2% Reddit just to check the shitposting and vote in polls about what some of my communities should do now.
I’ve made the switch permanently. For apps you could try out Memmy or Mlem on the test flight app. Personally I’m using Memmy and I’m loving the swipe to upvote comments feature!
I deleted my account so there's no going back for me. Not that I would anyway. I'd be lying if I said I don't miss some of the subs I used to lurk on there, but that's not something I can't move on from. I still have many informative comments and posts I'd saved up in RES though.
Speaking of which, I came to know way too late that the max number of saved items in Reddit is 1000. Does anyone here have a clue on whether or not Lemmy has a similar restriction? I lost many good posts and comments I'd saved up for years due to that limitation until I switched to RES saving.
I still lurk on Reddit because there's not enough content on here to keep me satisfied. Also I'm finding it hard to find stuff I like, I wish the interface was more similar to old Reddit.

Haven't deleted my account... but I logged out of Reddit last week and haven't been back since.
Probably not going back either.
I haven't gone and browsed Reddit since the 12th (typically I read it via the Infinity app) - and I don't intend to. Lemmy is still ramping up, obviously, but every day there is more and more content on Lemmy.
I haven't looked at Reddit since joining Lemmy on the 12th. I do miss some of the more niche subreddits, but hoping they'll eventually make an appearance here. :)
I have already uninstalled my reddit app from my phone. Now I just need to stop myself from automatically hitting my bookmarks on pc all the time. After years and years of reddit, it's hard to break the habit, lol.
Yeah, I hated reddit tho
I haven’t been on Reddit since the day of the Blackout and won’t be. I find my screen time has been cut down significantly and I like it.
For now I have an e reader and Steamdeck, whenever I want to browse I don’t, or I pick one of these.
This way the content I consume is curated by me and not an algorithm.
IPOs = death of what made your thing cool.
Yes, but only because installing Leechblock to try and reduce time wasting on Reddit and Youtube happened to coincide with this whole Reddit thing, and I haven't blocked Lemmy yet :)
I'm not, but i enjoy the time i've spent using lemmy so far this past week (only setup an account today) much more.
My first comment ever on Lemmy. As an Open-Source developer myself, the dirty moves around the Reddit API was definitely what pushed me to the FediVerse and Lemmy. I'd like to slowly move indefinitely to Lemmy from Reddit.
I've not been back to reddit once since I created my Lemmy account. I've googled some things which have only really yielded reddit links, however instead of going to reddit to get the answer, I've just asked my question on Lemmy.
Yes.
