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.

I am theoretically switching over from Reddit to Lemmy. Finding myself spending more time on Lemmy than on Reddit. Maybe it's because I am limited to using the desktop and can't aimlessly browse Reddit on my iPhone. Of late, the only subreddits I cared for were on sports and their matchday threads and r/watches. I found myself aimlessly browsing through r/AskReddit and asking and answering pointless questions.

I am mainly a mobile user. Unfortunately the Lemmy apps are still pretty limited. Despite that I refuse to use Reddit from now on even though I find myself often opening Apollo (muscle memory I guess), I always close it immediately. Really hoping the lemmy apps improve as I see a lot of potential.

The apps currently in beta seem to be getting updated every day or so with improvements. I’m posting this using Memmy and it’s working fairly well. Both Memmy and Mlem need a bit more work before they’re ready to go to general release imho but the devs are doing great work.

I don’t think it will be long before we have fully- functional apps in the App Store.

[–] KuroJ@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Not sure if you’ve tried Memmy yet on iOS, but I’m loving it so far and even though it’s in beta I’m able to do everything I need to do through the app!

Jerboa reminds me a lot of Rif. There are some bugs like the list reseting but it's mostly a good experience.

My only complaint is that subbing to new communities seems to be a huge chore in jerboa

[–] McBinary@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The mobile web app is far better than Jerboa right now, just FYI. I've been using the kbin and the PWA for their mobile website is pretty good for browsing lemmy communities too.

[–] Cha0zz@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Thanks, I’ll try using the web app for a while to see if that’s better. I guess I immediately tried mobile apps out of habit.

[–] bionicjoey@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

I removed RiF from my homescreen to break the muscle memory habit

[–] 4am@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Mlem and Memmy are having big updates everyday. Stick Apollo in a folder somewhere and replace the icon in its old position with one of those.

Mlem scrolls like Apollo used to but it doesn’t have dark mode. Memmy has dark mode and swipe gestures but the feed is huge comparatively. Both receiving almost daily updates.

(You need TestFlight from the Apple App Store since both apps are in beta)

I can't test Jerboa on iPhone but it makes me realise that maybe I spend too much inefficient time on the phone. It might be different for you.

[–] Cha0zz@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I definitely spend too much inefficient time on Reddit, so a reduction in that is definitely a good thing for me.
