!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:
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 can't reach content on Mastodon at all from Lemmy. The exception is a reply to a post originating from Mastodon.
Right now there's issues with various platforms talking to each other, just growing pains I think. The Lemmy devs are consumed in dealing with Lemmy, the user base exploded in the last month. I'm sure they'll work on improving interaction with other platforms at some point.
I don't personally see this is a problem. I don't think I understand how mastodon-format content can make any sense in the sea of posts with multi-threaded comments sections attached to specific communities.
Unless it's just a case of using your lemmy account and handle on a federated mastodon server, which I could see the desire for, I just wouldn't be the one who benefits.
agree, so far im not feeling the lemmy>mastodon integration, might just run an mastodon instance as well if its not fixed
It always seemed like a dubious integration to me, done because it could be done and not really because it made sense. Even if they federate using the same protocol, they are different applications. I don't think it hurts, but yeah, the best way to follow and engage with federated microblogs will be via federated microblog software, and the best way to engage with federated link aggregation/forums will be federated link aggregators.
Though I suppose kbin is attempting to support both fully with separate workflows, so that might turn into a decent all-in-one solution.
I don't think it was as intentional a thing. but rather just ended up happening as a side effect of both using activitypub
Yeah, I don't know how it could ever work well, they're just totally different formats, and honestly, I'm fine with them being separate
I just think it’s great that they integrate at all. They’re such different forum layouts that there’s no really sensible way to do it – but on a good day, posts can be seen, with threaded comments, and that’s great especially if you want to follow a specific user.
I love that communities appear as special users who just sit there all day boosting posts from other people. A creative way of blending the two paradigms.
while it's cool that mastodon, kbin and lemmy can all talk to one another, the format of mastodon just doesn't play nice with kbin and lemmy. if it works for you, that's cool, but i'd recommend separate accounts for microblogging and thread-style social media
Hey, talking about this community is allowed, but you must put a [meta] tag in the title. Could you please edit your post to include that?
Thank you (:
Yeah that would be like spez and muskrat merging. No thanks.
