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 trying both Mlem and Wefwef at the moment, and even though I select the “subscribed” options for my main feed, the posts I see are different. It seems like WefWef shows me top posts from the day before and Mlem is more current? But I still haven’t figured it out.

Is your sorting the same for both (new, hot, top [day, week, month])?

[–] Rhaedas@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not singling you out, but speaking of bugs in the new stuff, be sure when you submit a post and it hangs a bit to not hit the button again before you check somehow if it went through. On mobile this may be a lot harder than on desktop, where you can just open the thread in a new tab and see if it took. Hopefully that process will be improved soon to not allow double entries and to give better feedback on if it went through. Even Reddit's older system sucked at the feedback part with that 501 error or whatever.

No. You are, and it's well-taken! I kept getting a getting network error message and assumed it was not going through. I (thought I) verified that it didn't go through. And attempted to submit again. Wondering if they got queued and then submitted when the issue resolved.

This happens to me all the time!

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

Okay… now I feel silly. This was the issue. I just hadn’t thought of “Active” and “Hot” being different, but that was the issue.

[–] Carnelian@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I’m using different apps, it’s probably your sort. I see the same posts in the same order browsing all/hot and all/active

[–] chackl@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This is the reason….I didn’t know there was a difference between Active and Hot but there is. Still getting used to differences from Reddit! Thank you.

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

Yeah it’s been weird. Hot on lemmy seems to weigh more heavily towards newer posts than we’re used to from reddit. I regularly see posts that are less than 5 mins old with like 1 or 2 upvotes, back to back with ones that are a few hours old with much more engagement.

And then active seems to be a bit slower overall, with posts shifting gradually over the course of a few days. There’s several options I haven’t played with either, still figuring stuff out myself

I'm guessing it's due to which other instances they federate with and how recently they synced.
Even more annoying is that one instance might show 4x as many comments on the same post as another instance.

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

Implementation quirks.

I find even across instances in the same app, the content can change.

One of the growing pains, it will be solved with time.
