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.

MODERATORS
This was really helpful. Hoping to be part of a new wave of sports users.
During Reddit's APIcalypse, people made a bunch of Sports related communities to try and mirror Reddit's experience, but we simply don't have the user base here to support team-focused communities, so most of them just sit there. People ran game-day bots for a while, but then realized the poor bot was only talking to itself, and turned them all off.
Fanaticus.social is trying to be what you want, so I would look there.
Lol, poor bot. Who should I talk to about booting them back up again, at least for orioles games?
We have a few (Canadian) ones listed in the sidebar or !canada@lemmy.ca
The list never got completed however. I'll check back on this post later maybe
Thanks. I'm trying to get my brother over to lemmy. First thing he asked was, how's the sports comms?
Great to hear!
Some of the communities are quiet, but you'll find that people engage with your posts when you make them. Especially if there are a good number of subscribers for them
You can also post on !communitypromo@lemmy.ca or !newcommunities@lemmy.world if you're reviving one, so that others can see
Finally, if you're in contact with the mods on Reddit for a particular team, see if they'd be interested in having the Lemmy community be the official off-site space for the subreddit. People that want to talk about the team without ads/tracking/annoying UI can come here for it
Lemmy hates sports. I don't know why. Maybe they're all scared that the CLEVELAND GUARDIANS ARE TAKING THE MLB BY STORM!!!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
No. I haven't been drinking. Why do you ask?

You're either a fan of the blue jays, or you just found the video of the time Randy Johnson made a bird explode with his pitching. And I'm not sure which. I don't speak hieroglyphs.
I was laughing at your comment, showing a love of baseball, and poorly trying to show I'm a birds fan
