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.

No, lemmy doesn't merge communities from different servers, they're still different communities even if they have the same name (they actually don't since their server name is part of the community name).
Think of it as different subreddits.
While on reddit you can't have different subs with exactly the same name, there are still examples of same communities (that is subs dedicated to the same argument) with slightly different names, often spin-off of the original sub for various reasons.
They're different subs with different people and different mods, if you want to see them all, it's you who has to sub to all, not the server doing the merging for you.
is there a way to view them (or at least specific ones) as one merged thing?
Not as of now, but there are discussions among the devs about it.
Would be pretty cool if magazines/communities could form hubs around their subject. You could subscribe to the hub, and remove/add communities in the hub from other instances. And the community on your instance would control what instances are included by default in your hub sub.
Like a "default" technology hub that includes several technology magazines/lemmy communities and you can then personalize the hub by either adding magazines or communities that you think fit to that hub when you think they fit or remove them if you dont? Interesting idea. Didnt some reddit apps allow you to create meta-subreddits? Would be a very similar idea.
Yeah! I don't know how the new interface handles it, or how phone apps handle it, but on old.reddit I still see my list of multireddits on the left side of my main feed when I'm logged in.
I was kind of envisioning multimagazines and hubs as being two different things, where hubs would be created and joined by magazine mods, and then users would subscribe to hubs by default, where multimagazines would be user created and specific to that user, but one system could maybe do both...
